It works great. I love it. Only gripe is that I just found out it's |
| 13 |
intricacies when used as a NAT host. ( and getting outside access into |
| 14 |
it) |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
eg: |
| 17 |
Gentoo Host (192.168.x.x) |
| 18 |
| |
| 19 |
XP Guest |
| 20 |
| (172.16.x.x) |
| 21 |
SSH Server |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
Going from XP Guest to Gentoo Host, No problem, only when I try to go |
| 24 |
from Gentoo Host into the XP guest is where the fun starts. (remember, |
| 25 |
they are on 2 different Reserved IPs) |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
Found out that there is the /etc/vmware/vmnet8/nat/nat.conf file and |
| 28 |
it's port forwarding rules. :-( |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
And even when enabled eg: 222=172.16.x.x:22 |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
It only works when I ssh in from the Gentoo Host and not from another |
| 33 |
host on the same Network. (another physical box) |
| 34 |
|

Happy chasing your tail on that one. |
