I think you made a typo here--you didn't change the last digit by 1. At any
rate, as has been mentioned, you can't just pick another address unless you're
sure that other address has not been assigned to anything else (and won't be
assigned in the future). If you can get to the VM, but not the internet, then
you may have a routing issue. Make sure your default gateway (in the VM)
matches the default gateway that is set on your host. Also make sure that the
subnet mask in your VM linux install matches what's on your XP host (assuming
that's where VMWare is running).
You're right--it shouldn't be that complicated :).

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.
