I have a VPN connection to my office's network and I would like to connect to an office machine from my vmware linux virtual machine. At home I connect through the net through my cable and I have a wireless router which gives me a IP address. Right now the router gives the VM machine an internal IP address like 192.168.0.3. And it gives my host Windows machine a similar IP like 192.168.0.2. Now from the host windows machine and with my VPN connection I can easily connect to my remote office machine just by telneting into it. But I cant do it from my vmware machine. Telnet just hangs. I guess the reason could be that the Linux VM doesnt see that the host windows machine has a VPN connection set up, right? Is there a way the VM can detect the VPN connection? any ideas? thanks in advance -nayyer - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-newbie" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.linux-learn.org/faqs
