Glenn,

We use VMWare all the time and it is great.  We normally use "Bridged" networking and assign a local IP to the interface.

If you want to run as server/gateway, simply add another NIC, also bridged, and assign another NAT range to the internal interface.

This works with either real or NAT ip space on either side.

Hope this helps,

I am using VMWare to test SME 5.12, 5.5, and 5.6Beta7. All but 5.6B7 worked fine. To get 5.6B7 to work I had to enable webmail and restart the server. I may have been able to restart httpd but I figured that would have been done when I enabled webmail.

I hope this helps,
Tony P.
