RE: VMWare and Windows 2000

["Joseph Gruber" <jgruber () tampabay rr com>]

I've done the same thing as a home user on my XP box to learn more about
Linux.  What I did to get the traffic through the linux box was using the
bridge feature (I believe that is the one) of VMWare to give the VM it's own
IP on the network.  I then put that box in the DMZ (a feature found on my
router but may not be on yours if you have one.).

I'm sure much smarter people will probably give you better advice but this
is exactly the same thing I've done so I thought you would be interested
anyways ;)

Hi all

I installed VMWare on my Windows 2000 Server machine. I also installed
RedHat7.3 on VMWare, running on the same Windows 200 box. I mainly use
the Linux installation to learn more about Linux. 

I want to route all my network traffic through the Linux box (firewall,
proxy, snort) to my Windows box. Is this possible? 

Any help will be appreciated.
