Ran into a problem, the only interface going up was the loopback, after some research and testing found out that I had to add the following lines to /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0
===================================
BOOTPROTO: dhcp
ONBOOT:yes
===================================
Not sure if they have to be in any particular location within the file but my exact file looks like this:
===========================================================
# Name of card.....................
BOOTPROTO=dhcp
DEVICE=eth0
HWADDR=00:0.................
ONBOOT=yes
===========================================================
Then just reboot and enjoy!
(reboot or init 6)

Putty fix on windows
I had some annoyance with putty on my windows systems; I always forget where it downloads, or i moved it and the shortcut wouldn't work but the program actually saves keys in registry so it doesn't really matter where it is located...
So finally I decided to place it in C:\WINDOWS\system32 and run it by pressing windowskey+r to get to the run box and type "putty" without quotes (because anything in system32 with .exe will run from run box)
One more thing I have done since then is create a one line batch file to go with putty download in order to place it in system32 everytime installing it in a new system.
The one line is the following:
move putty.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\putty.exe
Save that in text file and rename it to something.bat with putty.exe in same folder and run the batch.
Or just download it both from HERE

How to get SSH connection from remote networks
From my original reply to post: http://communities.vmware.com/thread/184369
Remote SSH to VMware

Here's my issue:
I have set up vmware running CentOS 5.2 on a vista host machine. I would like to remote SSH into my centos from anywhere. I can ssh into centos locally from the host box, but not remotely. I assume this has something to do with port forwarding. I am running straight into a modem from the host box and therefore do not have direct port forwarding. I can also VNC into the host machine remotely. Also the windows firewall is off, as well as all firewall options on centos.
Someone help! having to vnc into the host box and then use vm is getting painfully slow. Any ideas?

You will need to enable ssh for external networks.
Open /etc/hosts.allow ( something like $vi /etc/hosts.allow) and add the following line at the bottom:
SSHD: ALL
or even easier type at the prompt
echo "SSHD: ALL" >> /etc/hosts.allow
This will allow all external networks to connect to the SSH service.
otherwise you can put an IP or a range of IPs to have a more secure system (google hosts allow for more information).

Good router
Just tried out the WRT54GL from Linksys and I must say that it's just great.
UPDATE [March 2011]: if you are looking for more flash, ram and wireless N try the very cost effective:
TP-Link TL-WR741ND or a little better
TP-Link TL-WR1043ND or one of the best available
Buffalo WZR-HP-G300NH with great specs, perfect for small business
For anyone who doesn't know, it is an open source firmware version from Linksys; which means you can change from the default routing admin interface (and features) - in which case this opens up for some amazing possibilities.
I choose the tomato firmware (just google for any others) and it just amazes me how much things get better when opening up the source code to regular people - communities form to improve software!

I choose the tomato firmware (just google for any others) and it just amazes me how much things get better when opening up the source code to regular people - communities form to improve software!
The major features I love are:
- Bandwidth monitoring (as my local ISP has monthly limits),
- QoS (Quality of Service) - which means downloading/uploading (things like bittorrents or moving large files) won't interrupt regular browsing on any computer connected,
- SSH service is great for me because I don't have to run another Linux box or vmware just for it,
- And finally it can also be used as a wireless bridge to connect off of existing wireless networks or to extend the range (but I havn't tried that yet so comment below if you have!).
It is really simple to upgrade:
1. Download the file Tomato_1_23.7z (or newest version) and unzip the folder
2. Log in to the Linksys firmware (Wired) at http://192.168.1.1/ (blank username, admin for password)
3. Click the Administration tab, then Firmware Upgrade.
4. Upload the WRT54G_WRT54GL.bin file - DO NOT Sneaze! this must complete without power or network interruptions, so it's best to wait patiently.
5. Wait to be prompted then enter root for username and admin for password (you should change that after logon)
Now for my favorite features (so far):
Enjoy!

Now for my favorite features (so far):
- Bandwidth monitoring is enabled by default
- Enable the QoS: click the QoS button on the left > check the Enable checkbox and click save.
- SSH is enabled ineternally and can also be enabled for external networks but isn't recommended for begginers.
- To change the wireless functions go to Basic > Network > choose Wireless Ethernet Bridge from the drop down menu of wireless section and click Save then you can click on Wireless Survey and connect to available networks.
Enjoy!
