vmware server was originally configured with bridged networking, and I

under hardware is of type bridged (being the only option available). This
all seems sane, and I don't see any host settings related to networking.
And this is latest v2.02 version.
Perhaps of relevance, there is an XP guest also running on this host, to
which vnc connections can be made as expected.
Please cut the top posting!
Have you looked with tcpdump (or the gui versions whose name escapes
me) to see what is happening?
Thanks for the suggestion, I will check this out as soon as I have a chance.
Have you any other DNS servers on the network, besides the ipcop box?
Well yes, though this particular puzzle has existed for some time, much
more recently there is a server 2008 domain controller though it's DNS
records only have entries for windows machines that have joined it's
domain, and the connection issue is the same whether the DC is running
or not. The desktop from which I'm attempting to connect has the ipcop
box's ip address in /etc/resolv.conf and then an OpenDNS address.
