Thanks Chirag,
The networking problem in VMware is resolved. I did exactly as you said, the subnet was the problem.
Now I can do this in VMware for Linux also.

Hi,
But I cannot configure Networking to connect My
Host PC (Win XP)
with the virtual Linux machine.....
Try the following: Create your virtual machine with host-only
networking. Use ipconfig on
Windows to check the IP address that vmware has
automatically assigned
to VMNet1 - say it's 192.168.11.1. When setting up
the Linux box make
sure you assign the network card a static IP on the
same subnet - say
192.168.11.10 and make sure the subnet is set to
255.255.255.0.
(I presume the problem you were having was due to
this - i.e.
mismatching subnets) That's all there is to it - at least it works for me
:-)
I also tend to put the virtual machine name & IP
into my
\WINNT\system32\drivers\etc\hosts file to allow me
to use it by name.
