Hello list,
    
I require a little bit of your help.    
My Router/Gateway runs with SuSE 8.1 Professional. I installed VMWare
from CD. The VMWare Guest-System is W2k-Pro and within this,
Overnet/Emule is installed. My Router has two network cards, one for LAN
one for DSL. My home network is through the Router and SuSEfirewall
masqueraded/protected. Respective a TCP/UDP Port is forwarded to the
Guest-System. The NIC's from the Guestsystem are bridged to eth0, the
internal nic. 
  
I think that all should work, but doesn't do it! Overnet/Emule says
"Firewalled." I tried all and I am almost desperate.  I have tried to
dump the networktrafic on the ports on internal Nic, but nothing
happened.  
  
As last, I got the idea, if I be too stupid to install a Firewall with
masquerading. And so I tested the w2k environment on a real computer.
Well, I am not so stupidly! All is working fine.

Is this a problem with the modules from vmware network system or did I
overlook something in SuSEfirewall2? Goes the traffic for vmware through
pre/postrouting?

Before I will install a vpn/pptp solution(which is my next idea) between
host/guest-system and I retest all again, I would like to ask the list
for some help or some ideas.



Therefore many thanks and happy Christmas!



Mit freundlichen Grüßen
M. Neubert
