Connecting DOS (VPC) with Linux (VMWare)

There are quite a few problems with this setup
1) I have created VMNet2 for Linux Server
2) I have created VMNet3 for MS-DOS Client
3) In Linux, I typed setup > network config > use
static IP with subnet mask 255.255.0.0 and
gateway = my host Computer (XP)
4) I have set the firewall under Linux to exclude
eth0 and telnet
5) I have set the firewall under XP for all the nodes
to allow VMWare and VPC flow between them
6) Under DOS, I have set disableDHCP=1
that means I wanted to use static IP
7) Under DOS, I have set the nameserver =
192 168 x x which is my Linux server address
8) Under Clarkson Telnet, I have added a line for the
nameserver which is the Linux server address
9) I found that I couldn't use the same address for
the VMNet2 and Linux Server
which are
192.168.x.y(VMNet2) and 192.168.x.y+1(Server)
10) I could ping 127.0.0.1 but couldn't ping its own (Linux Server)
11) All DNS servers are set to my XP system

12) How do I check IP address under Linux?
13) How to specify hostnames in XP and Linux?

Coffee Break!
Thanks
Jack

You're in the wrong newsgroup. This one, as its name suggests, is for
Microsoft's Virtual PC product:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=04d26402-3199-48a3-afa2-2dc0b40a73b6&displaylang=en

Even though lots of people in here also use VMWare (myself included), you'll
generally get a better response in the VMWare community:

Why Linux insists on 192.168.x.x (I set my VMNet2 to this) address to be
already used???
Is the adapter address same as the VM's IP address?
Thanks
Jack
