I have seen this working with Bering 1.2 on GSX (and Workstation.) /etc/modules #VMWare PCNET32 Cards mii pcnet32
The only problem I've seen with this configuration is port forwards to RDP targets (port 3389 I believe.) What I observed was after sending your credentials to the RDP host, the connection would drop. This occurred every time with VMWare Workstation. With GSX, it only occurs when connecting to the host machine (even though in both cases the host had a dedicated NIC.) It appears to me to be a problem with the VMWare bridge protocol. Same configuration ported to a physical machine works fine. Also, this booted from an IDE disk, which I'm not sure ESX supports. There was no need for the floppy boot that Ronny described below. Also, be sure to disable all non-essential networking components from your interfaces. For the configuration I described above, we disabled everything but the VMWare Bridge Protocol. - Bob Coffman -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Ronny Aasen Sent: Monday, October 11, 2004 4:22 AM To: leaf Cc: Paul Reynolds Subject: Re: [leaf-user] RE: Bering and VMware - No network connectivity i have this working useing bering-uclibc, i use pcnet32 (dont forget the mii module) on the vlance virtual nic only problem i had was that i was unable to boot on the virtual scsi harddrive, and had to boot using a virtual floppy image, and save my config and packages on the virtual scsi disk. the virtual bering is used as a firewall between the internett and the virtual servers running on the virtual lan. from what you write, i would guess that you need to uncomment the mii module also, (copy it over if you dont have it already) good luck Ronny Aasen On Sun, 2004-10-10 at 15:30, Paul Reynolds wrote: > Hi Everyone, > > I am new to LEAF and am trying to get Bering working under VMware, but I am > unable to get the networking component working. > > I have turned Shorewall and iptables off, to eliminate problems.
