Okay, I probably screwed something up again, so if you guys could help out it would be great.
So I installed VMware today using the .tar.gz file available from their website, extracted, ran ./vmware-install and installed to /usr/local. I selected all the defaults during the install otherwise except for the installation directory. All good so far. Installed Windows 98 SE on the VMware VM, and it gets an IP of 172.16.66.128. All dandy. My host machine's IP is 128.61.40.17, but I can't ping this from the VM Windows. However, I can ping the virtual machine from the host. What did I break? My ipconfig states: eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:80:C8:FA:F0:CA inet addr:128.61.40.17 Bcast:128.61.40.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:35665 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:12102 errors:272 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:272 collisions:10621 txqueuelen:100 RX bytes:6615530 (6.3 Mb) TX bytes:1352162 (1.2 Mb) ~Interrupt:5 Base address:0x9000 lo Link encap:Local Loopback inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0 UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1 RX packets:95 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:95 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:13625 (13.3 Kb) TX bytes:13625 (13.3 Kb) vmnet1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:50:56:01:00:00 inet addr:172.16.66.1 Bcast:172.16.66.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:41 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:63 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:100 RX bytes:0 (0.0 b) TX bytes:0 (0.0 b) I am using host-only for networking.
