So I did some further testing. I get the same problem with host only networking as I do with nat. Bridged networking seems to work fine though. The guest OS gets an ip on my House LAN (yeah wireless bridging!) and I can get to it from any machine.
Does anyone know how Vmware handles it's nat? There's a config file under /etc/vmware/vmnet3/nat but it appears exactly the same as the one on my clone. Did Ubuntu 9.1 include any default changes with firewall settings or tcp wrappers? I don't have any entries in /etc/hosts.allow or hosts.deny, so I'm assuming tcp wrappers isn't enabled. I can't see any settings for firewalls under administration, so I'm also assuming that nothing new was added there. Daniel Herrington wrote: > All, > > Is anyone running ubuntu 9.1 as a vmware host?
