NO, on the contrary, I see a lot of chest thumping and half baked fud having nothing at all to do with solving the OP's problem. Bridging a VMware guest machine requires the availability of a second IP and aliasing the nic. Neither of these is always a solution, some times you are not allowed a second IP, and some wireless nics can't be bridged. Nat on the other hand allows the virtual machine to operate when the host only has one IP or even if the Host is disconnected. So thanks for the tirade, (but No thanks, really) but its totally out of place on a list dealing with Shorewall, which is most often used to make firewalls using... You guessed it, NAT. -- _____________________________________ John Andersen http://www.screenio.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
