Thanks, that's exactly the page I found by searching the site a
bit ! :-)

I followed the steps, it's indeed very simple, it built the modules etc
that it needed, no problems.
The problems arrived when trying to configure it !  :-/
towards the end, it asked me question aobut sharing the hosts files
system, and the hosts network resources. I answered yes, but then it
asked me questions I had no clue about, which resulted in a BROKEN
INTERNET CONNECTION !! :-O

Thank god, it come with the most useful piece of code in the world : a
script to UUUNinstall everything cleanly/properly. That got my internet
working again.

Is there a single configuration file that holds all the configuration
values ? If yes, please someone, send me your working conf file ! :-)

...or tell me what to answer so that vmware can access internet (so that
Dreamweaver can upload my websites to the server) and so that it can
access the Linux file system (so that Dreamwvear can access the
website's files on my hard drive...)

Thanks !  :-)

Vince, almost there :o)
