The logs says nothing (nothing was droped,rejected,etc...)
Check the route table of the Firewall machine and the VMware ? Can they ping each other ? either start SuSefirewall with test parameter or define the FW_LOG so everything is logged ( the second option is secure if the machine is attached to Internet) FW_LOG_DROP_CRIT="yes" FW_LOG_DROP_ALL="yes" FW_LOG_ACCEPT_CRIT="yes" FW_LOG_ACCEPT_ALL="yes"
Have you defined the guest OS subnet somehere in the firewall configuration ie FW_MASQ_NETS or FW_TRUSTED_NET
Yes and the guest OS is in the same subnet and also on the same interface as the real test-pc. My config follows:
################################################################ ## Snipp ####################################################### ################################################################ FW_DEV_INT="eth0"
Not sure (since I have not played with VMware very much) idoes VMware machine have a NIC [wmnet] if so try adding that to FW_DEV_INT -- Togan Muftuoglu Unofficial SuSE FAQ Maintainer http://dinamizm.ath.cx
