VMWare : Internet access from Guest VM (RedHat 9)  

  • You donot need to create any internet sharing in windows etc. VMWare will take care of that for you.
  • To set up internet access from the guest VM, set the VM to use NAT for ethernet.
  • Set the IP address to the same segment as that of VMNet8. (just make sure that it is not .2).

Now you can access the Internet from the Guest VM!
