[Devil-Linux-discuss] VMware Frustration

[drew e. <dre...@gm...>]

I seem to be running into one problem after another.

Eventually I will be doing NAT to map high ports (50000+)
to well known ports (ssh, http, etc.)on different VMs.

But I want to start simple and just bridge eth0 and eth1.

It looks to me like I have it set up correctly,
but I don't see any traffic flowing through the bridge.

I have vmware network:

    Public1 connected to a 3-bit public subnet x.x.x.x/29 via eth0

    Private1 is connected to 10.0.0.0/8 via eth1, this will eventually
be subnetted, and
    a couple different subnets will share the same interface, but
    I'm saving all that for a bit later after I get the basics working.

    We will only have a few public ip numbers,  and a lot of VMs to connect to.

Interfaces are up, but not packets are flowing through them.

Is there a firewall somewhere I'm not aware of.  Or am I doing something
stupid.  It wouldn't be the first time.
