      <title>Networking Question</title>
      <link>https://communities.vmware.com/t5/VMware-Workstation-Pro/Networking-Question/m-p/1944779#M113830</link>
      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;I wonder whether anybody can help me with this:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I run Windows Vista as the host with VMware Workstation 6 and Red Hat Linux 3.0 as guest OS. My host OS is connected to the Internet through a DSL connection via it's WLAN interface.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I've assigned a static IP address to VMware Virtual Ethernet Adapter for VMnet1: 192.168.15.5 / 255.255.255.0 and a DNS server address of 62.220.18.8 which is my ISP's DNS server.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I've configured the Linux VM's Ethernet to use Custom settings and use VMnet1 for Host-only networking.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I've configured eth0 in the guest OS to use IP address 192.168.15.2 / 255.255.255.0.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;In /etc/sysconfig/network I've got:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;GATEWAY="192.168.2.5"&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;In /etc/resolv.conf I've got:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;nameserver 62.220.18.8&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;So that's my configuration. &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I want the guest OS to be able to resolve domain names and access the internet without changing the VMnet1 Host-only setting.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;What do I have to do? I am not a Linux nor a networking pro so I'd appreciate if anybody could provide me with steps to troubleshoot/set up correctly.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Maybe I gotta add routes or anything?&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Your help is greatly appreciated.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Last but not least here is the netstat -rn output:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;\[root@vgprottmann etc]# netstat -rn&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Kernel IP routing table&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Destination     Gateway         Genmask         Flags   MSS Window  irtt Iface&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;192.168.15.0    0.0.0.0         255.255.255.0   U         0 0          0 eth0&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;169.254.0.0     0.0.0.0         255.255.0.0     U         0 0          0 eth0&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;127.0.0.0       0.0.0.0         255.0.0.0       U         0 0          0 lo&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;0.0.0.0         192.168.15.5    0.0.0.0         UG        0 0          0 eth0&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;Uninstall VMware Workstation and do NOT change any of the default settings in the "Manage Virtual Network settings"&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;vmnet1 is used for host-only networking and your using it incorrectly in your configuration.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I assume your DSL connection on the host does not have a router, so you will need to configure your virtual machine virtual network adapter to use NAT.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;You should NOT change any of the default settings in "Virtual Network Settings"&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

I understand all of the other VMware network options and do understand NAT etc. however there are reasons why I need to configure it exactly as stated in my original post.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Maybe anybody else can provide me with a solution!&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;With host-only you can't (as the name implies).&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;As Peter said either create a DNS server on your host which forwards to the ISPs DNS or use another type of networking.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;You don't have to set "anything" if you choose NAT  - the host does all you need&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;(your guest is invisible to other systems).&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;If you want to forward packets from external networks to a NATted guest you can configure the port forwarding in "Manage Virtual Networks".&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Regarding the Linux guest: set the correct gateway (and make sure the host routes the packets)&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

(How do I add that route..?)&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;\- at the host open "Manage Virtual Networks" and adjust the IPs used for NAT to the 192.168.15.0/24 subnet (you have to modify the host-only range too since you use this subnet there already)&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;\- configure NAT networking for the guest&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;\- give the guest a static IP from this range (192.168.15.5)&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;\- define the default GW and DNS in the guest (the IP  is 192.168.15.2)&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>
