internet sharing weird problem
I have internet sharing set up and working with Firestarter. However, I cannot ssh to the guest connected through the computer sharing the net through ssh and nor can the guest connect to the sharing machine through ssh, ping, or any other way, but the guest does have an internet connection. I need services to work such as sharing the printer, http, nfs, etc. Thanks.

What guest are you referring to. A vmware guest OS or something?
If a vmware guest and the guest is using nat then you need to enalbe the ability to forward into the nat network of the vmnet8.

Oops, sorry for the confusion. Virtualization has nothing to do with this. The guest is a separate computer running Debian Etch (soon to upgrade to Lenny) in LVM2 with encrypted logical volumes using LKS and the Desktop sharing the internet to Debian is a Fedora 8 64 bit in Raid 1 configuration. Did I leave out anything?

I don't use firestarter so sounds like to me you need to configure more settings to allow the services to cross connect both ways. Also check if a firewall is up on the guest that the ports are open to the services you wish to connect to.\

Okay I found the problem. The hardware was faulty. The extra nic was causing the computer to crash. After I took it out, everything worked and I didn't need to push F1 to continue with errors from the BIOS screen. I tried the firewall configurator in Fedora 8. It had many bugs. It could not restart iptables many times, etc. Firestarter works good. It's too easy for me. Do you guys use iptables commands for everything?
