For vmware networking I have mostly used Natting with success, sorry cant 
comment on the bridge option. 

If your intention is to have the VM Showing up as another server on the 
Network, then I think your approach is right.  This is a wild guess - you can 
probably fiddle with the IPaddr on the VM and make it in sync with your static 
IP. 

For internet access. Check if it has to do with Proxy, replicate any proxy 
Settings present on win to linux. 

Thanks!

Subject: Oracle Enterprise Linux on VMware Server

Has anyone gotten Oracle's Linux to run properly on VMWare? I don't know alot 
about linux anyway.. so it may just be me. I can't get the networking to work. 
I am using Bridge Connection in VMWare(as Howard Rogers recommends on 
www.dizwell.com)
I am using a static IP. I ran an IP config on my Windows XP host and used the 
IP address from here:
Ethernet adapter VMware Network Adapter VMnet1:
I changed the last number by one digit. So 195.175.25.1 became 195.175.25.1 and 
used a subnet mask of: 255.255.255.0
I can contanct my host, but I can't get to the internet. Also, when I use dhcp 
my network service will not even start. 
Been through the vmware and redhat docs. Again I don't pretend to be a systems 
administrator, but this can't be that complicated.
