I decided I wanted to try out Debian. But, I've no free computers lying around! So, on my redhat box I installed VMWare, then installed Debian in that. Had a few problems (had to do a floppy install cause I couldn't get my hands on a debian cd this evening and vmware doesn't like .iso image files), but all in all it went okay. However, now I'm having some difficulty with the networking. VMWare lets you set up its virtual host so that it has an ethernet adapter. I've done that, and ifconfig shows it's all set up (typed from hand since VMWare doesn't have cut&paste): eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:50:56:80:2D:AE inet addr:192.168.201.253 Bcast:192.168.201.255 Mastk:255.255.255.0 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:244 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:249 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 Collisions:0 Interrupt:9 Base address:0x1000 So, VMWare's Debian knows about the ethernet adapter it's been given, and has a network IP assigned to it (that's the one I chose for it). I have routing information set up as such: Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface localnet * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 1 eth0 127.0.0.0 * 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 2 lo default romulus.nantico 0.0.0.0 UG 1 0 1 eth0 The gateway listed in the last line is my real machine (the one where the VMware virtual machine is running on). 'localnet', AFAICT, is defined to be "192.168.201.0", which is right for this setup. On the debian virtual machine, I ping my redhat real machine. On my redhat real machine, I run 'ntop'. It shows me all these packets coming in from the debian machine. But, ping never returns any packets. If I ping from my real host to the virtual one, same story; no packets come back. Other services (i.e. telnet) fail the same way. So, I'm confused. It looks like the packets are coming in to the real host, but I'm not picking them up. I know the network is okay on the real machine's side, as my X terminal attached to the network can boot off of it just fine. Does anyone have any suggestions? I've never set up networking in Debian before; heck, I've never done ANYTHING in Debian before. :-) So, any other info or output can be provided if asked for. Thanks a lot! Tim -- Timothy A.
