Is vmware bridged network interfaces and ip_forward compatible with VMware networks?
I have a bridged VMware network that when I turn on ip forward on the linux host it begins to drop all packets destined to outside of the hosts.
I ran ethereal while packets from the guest were coming in and then turned on ip_forward and it seems to show duplicate acks and out of order responses once I have done this.
Basically what happens is the interfaces eventually dies and nothing will cross the wire.
So is this normal and if so is there another way to work forwarding without affecting the guests bridged network? If not I guess I will need to post a bug report.
Thanks for the help
