[Lxc-users] Using VMware as a test-bed for hosting lxc containers. [SOLVED]

[Peter-Frank Spierenburg]

Apologies for being a bonehead. the routing table in the container was problem #1, plus it turns out that I also forgot to turn on ip routing inside the vm. DOH!
Anyway, thanks so much for your help.
Have a good day.
