Hello,
i'm sorry but i can't find any matching forum to post,
so i posted here...

If anyone has worked with VMware on linux, plase help me...

I have a server that has a primary IP as: 209.xxx.xxx.myip
and in ifconfig it has: BCast: 209.xxx.xxx.255
and netmask 255.255.255.255

and some virtual IP's as eth0:1 eth0:2 ...

The IP's are on range 67.xxx.xxx.xyy-xzz
and in ifconfig it has: BCast: 67.xxx.xxx.(xzz+1)
and netmask 255.255.255.240

-------------

Important:

I used /dev/vmnet0 as NIC on the VMware machine settings
(Custom: Specific Virtual Network)

i suppose this is the right one for bridging with the real host's
NIC and allowing it to use the network ...

--------------

i did dropped the last ip from host server,
ifconfig eth0:15 down, and now the last ip,
67.xxx.xxx.xzz is free - unused ...

i created on VMware a virtual machine,
and installed in a VDS with CentOS 3.4

when i was on networking configuration,
i used:

IP: 67.xxx.xxx.xzz
Netmask: 255.255.255.240

Gateway: 67.xxx.xxx.(xzz+1)
Primary DNS: 209.xxx.xxx.myip
Secondary DNS: 67.xxx.???.??? (A public DNS provided by my Datacenter)

Now, i finished all installations, and try to
ping the ip ...
Nothing !!!

I tried to ssh to the VDS IP, (67.xxx.xxx.xzz),
from inside the host system, and it succeeded

I tried to ssh to this from home or generally
any external network, and it fails...

I tried from inside the VDS machine to ping
external IP's and domains, with no success ...

I tried pinging the host main IP with no success !!!

I tried ssh to main host's IP, no route to host ...

-----------

Anyone that knows how to make it work please tell me !!!


=====================

When i solve this problem, i'm gonna write a tutorial on how
to make your own VDS on a linux Dedicated box with VMware.
