I have a small but tricky problem:
my windows machine on where the vmware server is running on has a vmnet 1 (host-only) and a vmnet 8 (bridged) and my local physical ethernet adapter (standard setup after installation)
-) vmnet 1 and the debian vmware are on the same subnet (host-only) ping possible
-) my windows local eth is on another subnet as my second laptop
-) vm debian can ping vmnet 1 and the windows local physical eth
-) my 2nd laptop can ping the windows local eth and vmnet 1
but a ping between the 2nd laptop and the vm debian is not possible ? why?
only thing i changed was the mac address of my local windows eth after installing the vmware server
before i did that is was working

any ideas ?
thx
