OK,then try changing the IP address of your virtual machine.
For example, the default subnet that Vmware uses is 172.16.16.0. It is common
for people to assign their virtual machine 172.16.16.1. This doesn't work.
Change the IP address to 172.16.16.2.
Also do you have IP Masq installed and configured correctly? Thats whats going
to get IP forwarding going. If not you will need to create a file like
/etc/rc/d/rc.masq and put the following in it:
echo -n "Setting IP chains..."
echo "1" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
/sbin/ipchains -P forward DENY
/sbin/ipchains -A forward -s 172.16.16.0/24 -j MASQ
/sbin/ipchains -A forward -j DENY -p tcp -s 0.0.0.0/0 137:139
/sbin/ipchains -A forward -j DENY -p udp -s 0.0.0.0/0 137:139
/sbin/modprobe ip_masq_ftp
/sbin/modprobe ip_masq_irc
/sbin/modprobe ip_masq_raudio
echo "Ready to go!"
Then call rc.masq from rc.local.
You can get more information from www.mandrakeuser.org about getting IP Masq
working correctly.
