As far as I remember, no need to enable "ip forwarding" (since packes
are not forwarded on IP level, they are bridged on lower ethernet
level). However, in VMWare you have an option to have "host-only" or
"bridged" networking. You must select "bridged", or your virtual linux
box will talk to your W2K host only. In any case, check connectivity to
the host machine first.
