VmWare bridged connection with public ip


Hello,

I own a dedicated server running debian 5 adm64 and I have 2 public ip addresses pointed on that machine.

I created a vmware machine (debian 5 i386) for running some services (want to try Zimbra open source) and would like this guest system to use the 2nd ip address.

First of all I turned off the 2nd ethernet connection on my host server, then I replied its configuration inside the guest os.

Unfortunately this seems wrong, as I can not reach any address (gw, the host etc) from the guest os.

This is the HOST ifconfig -a
Code:
eth1      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:1d:92:bb:08:48  
          inet addr:200.35.145.201  Bcast:200.35.145.255  Mask:255.255.255.0
          inet6 addr: fe80::21d:92ff:febb:848/64 Scope:Link

This is the GUEST ifconfig -a
Code:

Guest /etc/network/interfaces
Code:
# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

mapping hotplug
        script grep
        map eth0

# The primary network interface
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
        address 200.35.145.202
        netmask 255.255.255.0

        broadcast 200.35.145.255
        gateway 200.35.145.1
I use a bridged connection and this is my vmx

Code:
#!/usr/bin/vmware
.encoding = "UTF-8"
config.version = "8"
virtualHW.version = "4"
scsi0.present = "TRUE"
scsi0.virtualDev = "lsilogic"
memsize = "256"
scsi0:0.present = "TRUE"
scsi0:0.fileName = "debian-500-i386-netinst.vmdk"
ide1:0.present = "TRUE"
ide1:0.fileName = "/usr/lib/vmware/isoimages/linux.iso"
ide1:0.deviceType = "cdrom-image"
floppy0.startConnected = "FALSE"
floppy0.fileName = "/dev/fd0"
ethernet0.present = "TRUE"
ethernet0.connectionType = "nat"
ethernet0.wakeOnPcktRcv = "FALSE"
roamingVM.exitBehavior = "go"
displayName = "debian-500-i386-netinst"
guestOS = "other26xlinux"
nvram = "debian-500-i386-netinst.nvram"
virtualHW.productCompatibility = "esx"
ft.secondary0.enabled = "TRUE"
tools.upgrade.policy = "useGlobal"

extendedConfigFile = "debian-500-i386-netinst.vmxf"

ethernet0.addressType = "generated"
uuid.location = "56 4d c0 86 88 85 6a fd-c8 e6 95 f4 40 ab e9 50"
uuid.bios = "56 4d a7 d0 dd 2e bc f5-58 73 4c b6 35 2c a2 1c"
scsi0:0.redo = ""
vmotion.checkpointFBSize = "16777216"
ethernet0.generatedAddress = "00:0c:29:2c:a2:1c"
ethernet0.generatedAddressOffset = "0"

ide1:0.autodetect = "TRUE"
floppy0.autodetect = "TRUE"

ide1:0.startConnected = "FALSE"
tools.remindInstall = "TRUE"
Any help would really be appreciated

Your ethernet connection type in the vmx file is set to NAT rather than BRIDGED
