yes, eth0 is the only physical interface.
But what I did not realize before is that probably the VMWare NAT is what is
causing the problems. I believe that VMWare's own components are doing
NATting between eth0 and vmnet6 and that's why forwarding with iptables
fails.
There's an another networking mode in VMWare, called "host-only", which most
likely will solve my issue. I can't test this to be sure until sometime in
the future when I dare to turn my virtual machines off and reconfigure
VMWare.
