IP Masquerade + VMware + pptp
Has anyone experienced configuring IP Masquerade with pptp and VMware ?
My situation is :
- Debian box running unstable and kernel 2.4.2
- VMware + Windows 98 host system configured host-only
- ADSL internet connexion using pptp protocol
I would like my Windows virtual machine to access the net.
What I can do now is :
ping linux from windows
ping windows from linux
access the internet from linux
I know I should use NAT to masquerade Windows access to the net, BUT I
didn't succeded in doing so...
My interfaces are :
eth0 : ethernet card connected to the ADSL modem
ppp0 : ppp connexion to my provider via pptp
vmnet1 : virtual net between linux and windows in VMware
I tried to figure out how iptables works, but I was not successful with my
tries...
Especially,
iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o ppp0 -j MASQUERADE
echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
taken from iptables howto, didn't do it.
I tried firestarter, but with no more success (besides, I have noticed it
doesn't see my vmnet interfaces).
Thanks in advance...
Franck
