ASG 7 virtual appliance VMware server 1

I posted this in the vmware forum, but get no response.
----------------------------------------------------------
I am sorry if this has already been answered, I have tried googeling and have already given up several times previously.

System:
Ubuntu 8.04 LTS server running VMware server 1
3Nics: Wan, 100MB Lan, 1GB Lan
100MB Lan serves a WLAN router
1GB Lan goes directly to my workstation

The 3NIC setup is not so important right now, I just need to figure out the basic 2 NIC setup and take it from there.

Goal:
Run Astaro Security gateway as a virtual appliance to act as proxy/fw/dhcp and different stuff, I have ran Astaro on a seperate Machine earlier and know the basics there.

The main problem I am having is setting up networking with VMware server

My Current working config (Iptables dhcp etc on the Ubuntu system)
Wan: DHCP
100MB LAN : Static 192.168.0.1
1GB LAN : Static 192.168.1.1

How should i config with vmware-config.pl ?
And then the corresponding /etc/networking/interfaces in ubuntu ?

I also have services running on Ubuntu so how do I go about setting up VMware and still have access to ftp/rtorrent/ssh etc ?

Any help greatly appreciated, fumbling in the dark atm.

I managed to log in a few times, but had to connect my workstation directly to my eth0 wich is supposed to be my dhcp WAN card.
Set static ip on my workstation and logged into eth0 @ hxxps://192.168.0.1:4444.
I am not really sure if i mess up VMware networking, Astaro NIC configuration og both [:)]

Any pointers or pre-existing guides greatly appreciated.

Hi Bramat,

it's not too hard to do.

Set all your NIC in Ubuntu to fixed adresses and connect them with ASG in bridged mode.

Your example:
Wan: Static: 172.16.16.16
100MB LAN : Static 192.168.0.1
1GB LAN : Static 192.168.1.1

Then you can set your external ASG-Interface to PPPoE and connect to WAN.
Your internal Interface you have to set to 192.168.1.2 and set this address as gateway for your workstation and also to ubuntu for updates etc.

Thanks for your reply.
I´m sorry but I am really confused about vmware networks, I have to read up abit [:$]

How do i config during vmware-config.pl ?

vmnet0 is bridged to eth0(wan)
vmnet1 is bridged to eth1(lan)

how about host only and NAT, and the corresponding IP´s ? Do i need one set of those per real NIC I cfg.

If anyone knows of a similar example tutorial, pls point me in that direction [[[:)]]]

I just want Astaro as a virtual appliance and still run normal services on my host os.

############Update##################

Looks like I overcomplicated things in my own head [[[:)]]]
Working nicely now, only setup the internal bit and then remove my buggy pfsense gateway laptop.

Thanks for the pointers [[[:)]]]
