I am running Cisco Anyconnect
VPN Client version 2.5.3054 on a laptop running Windows Vista Home Premium (version 6.0.6002) Service Pack 2. I am running the VMware Player version 4.0.2 build-591240. The host operating system running under VMware Player is Debian 6.0.2.1 i386. The laptop is connected
to a wireless connection, and I can browse the web from Windows Vista using Firefox just fine.
I am able
to boot into the Debian VM and open up a browser and access websites on the WAN from within the VM just fine. I can ping real Linux hosts on my LAN via:
ping <lan_system>.local
where <lan_system> is the hostname returned from uname -a on that system on my LAN.
From a DOS CMD shell, I am able
to ping hosts that exist on the remote network served by the Cisco AnyConnect Client's
VPN network (and without the .local suffix applied as above):
ping <remote_system>
However, from within the Debian VM, I expect
to be able
to also ping those same remote hosts (<remote_system>) that are tunnelled over the
VPN set up by Cisco AnyConnect Client. Let's say that I can ping a <remote_system> called flubber from a DOS CMD prompt just fine. When I execute Linux ping command from inside the Debian VM via:
ping flubber
It returns immediately with this output:
ping: unknown host flubber
For reference since I suspect it will be useful, here is the output of the route print command from the DOS CMD prompt:
route print

At the top window border of the VM, clicking on Virtual Machine, then clicking on Virtual Machine Settings, then clicking on Network Adapter, I have these two options checked:
[X] Bridged: Connected directly
to the physical Network
[X] Replicate physical network connection state
[ ] NAT: used
to share the hosts's IP address
[ ] Host-only: A private network shared with the host
[ ] LAN segment:
[ ]
<LAN Segments...> <Advanced>
I've toyed with the other options such as NAT and Host-only but that had no effect.
Is there some way
to allow the VM
to access those <remote_system>'s?
