More progress ! Thanks for that suggestion. I found a line about class routing (not sure what this is) at the bottom of the SuSEfirewall script. Once enabled VMware seems to be working.................in conjunction with FW_DEV_INT="vmnet1 vmnet8" I have got a permanent ip address from my Internet Service Provider. I wonder if this should go into the script somewhere. For now ippp0 seems to be working ok i.e. accessing the net. Brian Marr On Thursday 03 October 2002 06:55, Anders Johansson wrote:

and either allow class routing or set up forwarding.
I do not want it to be accessible to the internet, but accessible to my LAN (at least the Host). Currently SuSEfirewall is dropping VMware packets when I turn it on.

There's no point in crossing out 192.168-addresses. If anyone outside your lan can reach them it's a miracle (or a tremendous blunder on the part of your ISP). Those are private, non-routable addresses.
