No. The rest of your network must know how to reach the network you have behind the CTC connection. You have 3 options: 1) insert a static route for the network behind the CTC in your routers 2) run proxy ARP on the VM stack controlling the real network interface 3) run a dynamic routing protocol on the Linux and VM sides that updates the routers that form the rest of your network. Without one (or more) of these three options, the rest of your network will not be able to communicate with the Linux guest. Option 3 is the preferred option. -- db
