I've a recent-ish D510 motherboard with one MB NIC and one PCI NIC, both Realtek.
The box runs the most recent Centos and I've installed VMWare Workstation 6.5 on it successfully and everything seems to be okay.
I'd like to put this box between my DSL modem (but let the Virtual Machine just get assigned an ip by the modem) and a router in a home installation.
I've followed the installation instructions for the virtual appliance religiously.
I'm trying to test the installation by plugging the external-side physical NIC into the router and then plugging a laptop into the internal-side physical NIC.
The external-side NIC gets an IP successfully from the router and on the Centos box I can browse and ping the ASG virtual machine. In the ASG virtual machine I can ping the Centos box and the outside world. However, the laptop never gets an IP address from the ASG virtual machine.
The internal NIC seems to have DHCP set-up on it, at least the Webadmin interface says so. But I can't make the internal NIC go active using the network control-panel in Centos. When I try to make the internal physical NIC "activate" in Centos things just go nowhere for a minute or two then an error message comes up.
I've googled around a bit, but haven't had any luck. What am I doing wrong?
