Hello again, Please take a look at this document: http://www.blackant.net/other/docs/howto-win-obsd-pf.php It shows how to firewall windows with a openbsd (guest OS) inside vmware. The reason i want to firewall my windows is because: a) i need windows to work b) i have lots of hardware that doenst get correctly bridged if i run windows inside vmware c) i need a linux box d) i dont have space for an extra box running linux ;o) so...the best choice would be to run linux inside vmware! my problem is i cant get the dhcp ip :o| (dont worry about "not being safe" hehehe....i think it's safer then letting windows on the loose) :oP Best regards, +----------------------------------------- | Luís Miguel Silva | Network Administrator@ ISPGaya.pt | Rua António Rodrigues da Rocha, 291/341 | Sto.

If you're trying to firewall your windows 2000 then the windows 2000 should be in the vmware not the otherway round. A firewall has to be before the thing you're trying to protect in your network. -------- ------------ ---------- | | | | | Cable | | W2k | ------> | Firewall | -----> | Modem | --------- ------------ ----------- You could try host based networking but you still have the main problem that having your vmware be the firewall is like putting it behind the thing you're trying to protect. ----------- -------- ---------- | | | | | Cable | | Firewall| ------> | Win2k | -----> | Modem | ----------- --------- ----------- The way you discribe what you're doing is: ------------------------------ | Host OS | ----------- | Win2k | | Cable | | ----------------- | ---------> | Modem | | | Vmware | | ------------ | | Linux FW | ----->| | ------------------ | ------------------------------- Not quite an ideal way to run a firewall.
