Routeable Ip?

How do i set the Vmware Player up so that is will feed my Gentoo Linux a routeable ip? As of right now i am only able to get an ip such as 192.168.24.128

any help would be appreciated

Your virtual network card is most likely set to NAT (the ip address of the virtual machine is hidden behind the address of your physical machine). You will see something like this in your config file:

ethernet0.connectionType = "nat"

This can be changed by using:

ethernet0.connectionType = "bridged"
