Hmmm? So to get things straight...


Here is my understanding of your prob:

V is on the L right.
(D refers to Desktop internal address)

D ping L? yep?
D ping V? yep?
L ping D? yep?
L ping V? yep?
V ping L? yep?
V ping D? Nope?

If it's like that then perhaps there is a firewall running on D which
stops incoming ping from the internal interface except from L's IP???

Try looking at ipchains -L or iptables -L on your desktop?

Try also looking at the arp tables on the desktop and vmware... /sbin/arp -a
should show up the relevant ip addresses if the ping is getting through.

Tom.
