Actually, whatever is going on, it's worse than what I saw before. I can't even ping to the other side of the *same* network. For example, if I leave vmnet1 at 192.168.0.1, and set the guest to 192.168.0.2, then pings in both directions fail. From the host, it fails with "host is down" rather than a simple failure to communicate. Does anybody know what this means? (I've also tried setting both sides to 192.168.242.x, where I used to be, as well as setting the guest as part of my "main" 192.168.147 network and using DHCP. I can't get any packets from vmware to anyplace at all.) Any advice would be greatly appreciated. > ping 192.168.0.2 PING 192.168.0.2 (192.168.0.2): 56 data bytes ping: sendto: Host is down ping: sendto: Host is down Mikko Työläjärvi wrote: > > On Fri, 9 Mar 2001, The Babbler wrote: > > > Well, this is frustrating in the exteme, but although it worked once, I > > can't get it to work any more.
