I'm using NAT for my virtual XP machine. From the XP machine I can access the Linux host, and I can access anything on the Internet. I can not, however, access any machine on our local network.
The local network is 10.1.1.0/24. The XP machine is 192.168.183.128/24 with gw 192.168.183.2. vmnet8 on my Linux host is 192.168.183.1/24.
I use tcpdump to listen on vmnet8. When I ping some host on the internet, I can see the traffic flowing through vmnet8. When I try to ping 10.1.1.10 (our router), nothing comes out of vmnet8. I (obviously) can ping it from the Linux host.
My XP routing table is as follows:

0x1 ........................... MS TCP Loopback interface
0x10003 ...00 0c 29 99 4f 4f ...... AMD PCNET Family PCI Ethernet Adapter - Packet Scheduler Miniport
