if you use brigded mode in VM you need two official IP addresses and do NOT need to configure IP any masquerading or routing on the linux-box at all as this is done by the "virtual network hardware". If you have only one IP address, you need the VM running in "host-only" mode with IPs within the private addresses (e.g. 192.168.0.x). I run the following configuration: SuSE Linux 6.0 with kernel 2.2.5 compiled with all options mentioned in the IPCHAINS-HOWTO. Don't forget make modules and make modules_install. After vmnet1 is started upon booting, you do a echo "1" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward ipchains -A forward -s $vmnet1/24 -j MASQ (vmnet1 is an IP like 192.168.0.0) After an "insmod" for the following modules: ip_masq_cuseeme ip_masq_ftp ip_masq_irc ip_masq_quake ip_masq_raudio ip_masq_vdolive the ip-forwarding should work. I already posted a mail concerning forwarding and vmware to [EMAIL PROTECTED] last week, but it is not displayed in the mailing list archive. I don't know why. bernhard riegel [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ Masq maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://tiffany.indyramp.com/mailman/listinfo/masq Admin requests can be handled by web (above) or [EMAIL PROTECTED]
