Re: vmware & ip masq
Whups...made a mistake. You don't need an ifconfig command. Just make sure
that your default gateway in the vmware os is set to the address of your
vmnet1 interface in linux.
Secondly, I would apply the remaining commands I mentioned before by hand to
make sure things work.
I put the commands as i wrote them in /etc/pcmcia/network since I'm using a
pcmcia(wireless card). Not sure off the top of my head about the best place
to do it for a regular card, and I'm not positive if the ipforward=yes does
what you need(probably, just not sure).

First of all, I would try applying all of these commands by hand and test to
see that it works.
