Re: vmware & ip masq
I'm doing exactly this: debian 2.4.x custom kernel + vmware + masquerading.
Maker sure that the ipt_MASQUERADE module is loaded, and make sure the
iptables debian package is installed.
Then add an IP address to your ethernet card that is on the same subnet as
your vmware machine:
eg: ifconfig eth0 add 192.168.155.2
Set your vmware OS'es default gateway to be that address (easier if you
disable dhcp in your guest and just hard code the configuration).
enable ip_forwarding:
echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
apply one iptables rule:
/sbin/iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE
-Tupshin
