vmware: can't ping host
Okay, I probably screwed something up again, so if you guys could help
out it would be great.
So I installed VMware today using the .tar.gz file available from their
website, extracted, ran ./vmware-install and installed to /usr/local. I
selected all the defaults during the install otherwise except for the
installation directory. All good so far. Installed Windows 98 SE on the
VMware VM, and it gets an IP of 172.16.66.128. All dandy. My host
machine's IP is 128.61.40.17, but I can't ping this from the VM
Windows. However, I can ping the virtual machine from the host. What did
I break?
My ipconfig states:

I am using host-only for networking.
Debian, for great justice!
Thanks in advance.
