Hi,

Try to configure the host to act as a DHCP server using Internet
Connection Sharing (ICS). Google it since there are a lot of references
to ICS.

Subject: VMware setting

Dear all,
I use VMware workstation 5.5, and I use ADSL to connect to the internet.
I have an IP address on my host machine which is assigned by my ISP.
I have created a virtual machine for honeywall which has two bridged
network adapter and when host only, and two other virtual machines:
windows and linux respectevely (I followed the instructions as given by
the pakistani alliance).
My problem is that I cannot connect from my guest machines to the
internet.
Could any one who is familliar with VMware to guide me on how to set it
to allow guest machines to access the internet, and do I need to disable
DHCP and NAT that are already built in or not.
I used static IP adresses for my guest machines which are different from
the IP range given by my ISP, but I guess they get through the bridged
network which uses VMnet0 (my Ethernet card).
