acessing a subnetwork from within a vm

Question

I have a pc running windows 7. I have vmwareplayer running RHEL5 I have 1 physical ethernet connection. this ethernet connection is wired to a hub. there is another device on that hub that needs to be in a certain subnetwork (192.168.0.xxx)(lets call him device X) but the general network is 192.168.1.xxx

How can I configure the network adapters so that I can ping device X from RHEL5 in the vm.

Originally I could ping google from both windows and rhel (I was in the .1 network) but not device X since he is on a different subnetwork address. Now that I have put it on the .0 I can ping device X from windows but not from rhel5 and cannot access the web. I did this by manually setting the IP address.

doesn't mean it's not right though - give us LOTS more detail and then we might be able to add more to our answers. – Chopper3 May 25 '10 at 17:48
I was finally able to get it to work, thanks for mentionning it had to be bridged even though there were other details involved I ended up being able to get it to work – yan bellavance May 25 '10 at 18:01
