The House network (VMware Bridged) is 192.168.2.0 The VMware Nat network is 192.168.0.0 The VMware HostOnly network is 192.168.190.0 > It looks like the WAN and LAN side of the VMWare NAT share the same IP > space, specifically 192.168.0.x, which would confuse the routing > either on the host or the VMWare virtual router. > The House network is running on a completely separate subnet. I have a clone of the guest running in the same NAT network on an Ubuntu 8.10 host without problems. I installed Ubuntu 9.10 on test machine, installed VMware 2.0, then copied the guest over. I made sure to create the same NAT network on the Ubuntu 9.10, 192.168.0.0, and booted the cloned guest (CentOS 5). On Ubuntu 8.10 I can ssh from the host to the guest no problems. So, either the vanilla config in Ubuntu 9.10 broke the ability to ssh to a VMWare guest, or VMware 2.0 networking is broken on Ubuntu 9.10. I'm leaning towards VMware having done something, as you already have to patch the install to get it to work. What I'm not sure of is how VMware runs the NAT between the hosts IP and the guests IP. There is no bridge created, and the routing table looks exactly the same as Ubuntu 8.10 except for a link-local entry in Ubuntu 9.10. I suspect the problem lies in the vmnet-natd, that it's not picking up any traffic into the NAT network. I'm not enough of a network guy to make sure it's not something in Ubuntu's 9.10 network config. That's what I'd like to verify if possible. > Just an FYI, the Ubuntu version is 9.10, with the trailing 0. It's to > be read similar to a date like 2009.10 or October 2009.
