Re: [expert] Linux/VMWare -- "bridge" or "host-only" networking?
You want bridged. if you use host-only, then windows can't get to any host other than your Linux host; it can't get to the www or ftp (except to your local machine) or anything.

RE: [expert] Linux/VMWare -- "bridge" or "host-only" networking?
Host-only with IP-Masquerading or Proxie/firewall on the Linux side. I believe there is a walkthrough on VMWare's site for getting the IP Masquerade to work in your situation. You will most likely need DOS drivers for your network in Win3.1. > -Original Message- > From: Benjamin Sher [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Thursday, March 16, 2000 4:23 AM > To: Air-Exp > Subject: [expert] Linux/VMWare -- "bridge" or "host-only" networking? > > > Dear friends: > > This is a footnote to my earlier letter concerning Mandrake > 7.0, VMware > 2.0 and Win3.1. > > I have a single computer running Linux and a single virtual > machine with > Win3.1 on it.

[expert] Linux/VMWare -- "bridge" or "host-only" networking?
Dear friends: This is a footnote to my earlier letter concerning Mandrake 7.0, VMware 2.0 and Win3.1. I have a single computer running Linux and a single virtual machine with Win3.1 on it. I have ADSL broadband (3com ethernet card) and I also use a U. S. Robotics 56k EXT modem as a backup for the ADSL. During installation, VMWARE recognized my DHCP protocol and suggested bridge network. That's what Settings also showed after installation (which was otherwise perfect). At the bottom of the main VMware screen I see icons for four devices: floppy, hard drive, CD AND ethernet0. The floppy icon works when I click on it and the hard drive. The CD is of no importance at this time. But the ethernet icon does not respond. BIG QUESTION OF THE DAY: After reading extensivly on this subject on VMware's support page (Documentation, Networking) at: http://www.vmware.com/support/linux/doc/networking_linux.html, I can't help but wonder if perhaps what I really need is HOST-ONLY NETWORKING for the ethernet card. Bellsouth considers me to be on a LAN, and that is the way my ADSL was configured from the beginning (first under Windows95 and now under Linux). I hope to avoid Win95/98 at all costs in VMware.
