I got a linux host, debian.

I've tried iptables forwarding 63392 udp and tcp to the vmware host.

I've tried using vmware's NAT and forwarding the ports.

Using vmware's nat I was able to connect to my lfs host, but it errored saying could not get guest info.

What do I need to do? I really don't want to buy another ip address just for this win vps

Did you in that case check that it shows on lfsworld? Did you try the 'local network' option instead if 'internet' when connecting?

Yes it worked on lfsworld, I can't do local network as it's a remote server

Eh? What does the nat have to do with anything then The vmware is running on linux (right?).

IIRC the vmware nat setting is pretty straight forward: it'll pretend to be a standalone machine and you don't have to forward your ports on the host machine itself (, well that was how it worked with windows). Unless you've set the network option to 'bridged' (or how was it, can't remember)??

I had the udp ip wrong.

It cause my vmware install to crash, I guess idk why I killed ALL vmware pids and it still wouldnt stard, I ran the config.pl thing and it fixed it. Then I posted this. I checked my nat.conf.0.back or whatever and I noticed the ip wrong.

I changed the new nat.conf properly and the dedi works.
