Anyone know how to configure Shorewall so as to enable access to the Linux host by the W98 guest?
As things stand, I can only see the host from the guest if I shut Shorewall down.
You should be able to "share" the internet connection by enabling sharing of the internet connection in MCC; I've always NOT used the suggested bridging IP DHCP server in VMware and just assigned a nice old static IP with the gateway being that of the host system and then used IPTABLES to route as ICS would. Works fine for all my virtual machines.
There's no problem with the internet connection. Perhaps I wasn't as clear as I might have been. IE found and used that from day one. What's confounding me is the network neighbourhood thingy where I should be able to see my linux /home/graham folder and my networked printer (which was the only way I could get a printer working with VMWare).
Haven't had much time to mess with it lately but I think I need to tweak Shorewall as there is no problem when I switch that off.
