AW: VMWare and Windows 2000

["Shade" <Shade.TGMC () gmx de>]

Hello Swanepoel,

First: Sorry for my bad english!
Well... the bridge feature is still not the easiest way. I have
installed the same scenario on my computer. In bridge mode windows still
alert about a IP address conflict with an other system. I have tried
DHCP at Linux just like static IP addresses. No solution! My Linux is
still "offline" in this VMware Sandbox, no ping no dns resolution,
nothing...

But the solution with bridge mode should work... at least the
instructions promise this ... ;)


Regards
Shade

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.
