Re: vmware: can't ping host
I run VMWare here at work on Debian.
I set up my networking as Bridged.
I don't remember exactly, but I think Host Only won't let you out to the
network.
Try bridged mode and see if you can connect out from your VM. And make sure
you have win98's networking installed correctly (but you probably do).
If you're still having trouble, tell me and I'll kill my VM-NT session and
look at the setting in detail. (Can't see them while it's running).
