The guest gets a sane-looking IP address from vmware's DHCP server (192.168.47.47.130) and can talk to the host and to the Internet but I can't ping or telnet the guest from the Windows host. I suspect this has something to do with the fact that my VMnet adapters have "autoconfiguration addresses" (169.245.*.*) instead of addresses on the same subnet as the guest, but I have no idea why. Strangely enough, Windows reports a correct-looking address in the "Properties" dialog but not in the "Status" dialog:
How can I make Windows listen to its own settings?
