VMware question

Factual Questions
1

I have a Windows VMware image, and I want to make it think it is connected over the internet, having its own IP, so I can port scan it from the host machine.

It seems that the VMware image has its own IP (using ipconfig inside the image), but I still can’t “see” it from the host machine (using Superscan).

The VMware image has no security at all (at the time being), so at least it should reply to pings, but it doesn’t. So there’s obviously some problem in the connection between the host machine and the VMware image. What am I doing wrong?

I don’t have VMWare in front of me right now, so I can’t tell you exactly where to look, but check the network configuration for the image. You need to use bridged networking to let the image see and be seen from the outside world.

I did, but still no luck :frowning:

I believe something with the nertwork adapters is messed up.
BTW, the host runs Windows XP and the image is Windows 2000.
