Hi Bernd,
That's where I can't really help as I don't have or know VMWare. If I
remember correctly though, it provides a virtual network adaptor that
you must configure in Linux. From XP you would simply:
C:\> ping linuxbox
For example, one of my servers is called nibbler:
Microsoft Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600]
(C) Copyright 1985-2001 Microsoft Corp.
C:\>ping nibbler

Ping statistics for 192.168.1.43:
Packets: Sent = 4, Received = 4, Lost = 0 (0% loss),
Approximate round trip times in milli-seconds:
Minimum = 111ms, Maximum = 147ms, Average = 122ms
The replies indicate that we are communicating OK. However, this is not
the place to get help getting your network or VMWare going.
Regards, Dave.
