I could clone them, but it would be a lot of work.
It works great. I love it. Only gripe is that I just found out it's intricacies when used as a NAT host. ( and getting outside access into it) eg: Gentoo Host (192.168.x.x) | XP Guest | (172.16.x.x) SSH Server Going from XP Guest to Gentoo Host, No problem, only when I try to go from Gentoo Host into the XP guest is where the fun starts. (remember, they are on 2 different Reserved IPs) Found out that there is the /etc/vmware/vmnet8/nat/nat.conf file and it's port forwarding rules. :-( And even when enabled eg: 222=172.16.x.x:22 It only works when I ssh in from the Gentoo Host and not from another host on the same Network. (another physical box) Happy chasing your tail on that one. -- Ow Mun Heng Gentoo/Linux on DELL D600 1.4Ghz 1.5GB RAM 98% Microsoft(tm) Free!!
