The host PC works with the IP range: 192.168.1.x. Before the change, the guest OS (Windows XP also) had the IP range 192.153.128.x. I changed this to also 192.168.1.x and this caused the problem described above. I had to revert back to the original IP range to get the Internet connections back on the host. Can anyone explane why this is? Thanks in advance! Jan D I tried this, but after the change all my internet connections on the host PC (Windows XP) were lost.

This is exactly what I needed using VMware with Nortel VPN. A couple of notes for VM Player users. 1 - The network manager is not in Start -> Programs -> VMWare section of the program manager. Instead, it will be in the same directory as the VMPlayer which on my box with a standard install is "C:\Program Files\VMware\VMware Player\vmnetcfg.exe". I added a shortcut so I could find it later. 2. Once connected with VPN, do ipconfig /all and look for one with a description matching the VPN client. Using Nortel on my box the description is: Description . . . . . . . . . . . : Nortel IPSECSHM Adapter - Packet Scheduler Miniport Use subnet corresponding to the matching IP address as descirbed above.
