VMware: windows 2000 + guest linux...

[Luís Miguel Silva <lms () ispgaya pt>]

Hello everybody,

I have a windows 2000 Profissional running vmware workstation.
My windows 2000 has got 2 network cards. One is my cable connection to the
internet and the other one is a private network connection.

I want to firewall my windows 2000 using linux inside vmware. The thing is i
get my internet ip by DHCP.

Can anbydoy give me some pointers on how to configure vmware + linux so it
firewalls my windows 2000?

I tried a bridged network configuration on vmware but when i try to get an
ip by dhcp on linux it simply times out.

Thanks in advance,
