Hi Murray, I cannot think of anything specific to the VM LAN simulation that would cause the problem you have described. If you issue "CP QUERY LAN DETAILS" commands you will probably find the expected IP Addresses in all the right places (based on the fact that this all worked properly when you had a CTC link to the other system).
This leads me to suspect the routing setup. I am certainly no expert with routing, but I notice that my "route" command responds with a Genmask of 0.0.0.0 for the default route. Yours responds with 255.255.255.240 for the default route... -root@somehost root-# route route Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface default 10.0.1.113 255.255.255.240 UG 0 0 0 hsi0 10.0.1.112 * 255.255.255.240 U 0 0 0 hsi0 127.0.0.0 * 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 lo If I am interpreting the definitions correctly, it seems your Linux stack should only send packets to the default path if the destination IP Address is within the 10.0.1.112 subnet. This seems to match the behavior you described... Your Linux guests (on the same subnet) can ping each other, but you cannot get a packet out of your subnet. Unfortunately, I do not know how to suggest changing the genmask for your default gateway. I don't see a parameter for that in any of my configuration files. *IF* this is the problem, I'm sure someone on the list here can help with the configuration question.
