KDE 3.5.5 on openSuse 10.2 : Can not ping from outside into VM

[nusa]

Hi,

I just downloaded the "KDE 3.5.5 on openSuse 10.2".

Using VMware Player 1.0.3 to run it, it works very well.

I can browse, download, etc.

But the problem is from outside ( from another computer ),

I can not ping into that VM !

Here are some output that I hope you could help me :

I appreciate any help/suggestion.

Thanks.

This is really strange ...

I can browse, download, & ping outside world from inside VM but not the other way around. I've checked whether the firewall is on, no, it's OFF !

Any takers please ?

Thanks

[RDPetruska]

The guest is configured to use NAT networking... therefore it is hidden from the rest of the network. Everything is working perfectly as configured.

[nusa]

So what should I change in order outside world able to ping into that VM ?

Thanks.

[RDPetruska]

You will need to change the VM to use bridged mode. Change the line 'ethernet0.connectionType = "nat"' from nat to bridged.

You also \*may* need to reconfigure the NIC inside the guest after you do this. You'll have to try it and see.

[nusa]

Yes, changing from nat to bridged allows me to ping from outside into VM.

Then, I need to reconfigure the NIC. It's all OK now.

Thanks.
