Has anyone experienced configuring IP Masquerade with pptp and VMware ? My situation is :
- Debian box running unstable and kernel 2.4.2 - VMware + Windows 98 host system configured host-only - ADSL internet connexion using pptp protocol I would like my Windows virtual machine to access the net. What I can do now is : ping linux from windows ping windows from linux access the internet from linux I know I should use NAT to masquerade Windows access to the net, BUT I didn't succeded in doing so... My interfaces are : eth0 : ethernet card connected to the ADSL modem ppp0 : ppp connexion to my provider via pptp vmnet1 : virtual net between linux and windows in VMware I tried to figure out how iptables works, but I was not successful with my tries... Especially, iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o ppp0 -j MASQUERADE echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward taken from iptables howto, didn't do it. I tried firestarter, but with no more success (besides, I have noticed it doesn't see my vmnet interfaces). Thanks in advance... Franck
