I have  big problem with VMWare accessing internet from virtual machine.

here is the layout:

1. GATEWAY MACHINE WITH REAL IP USING NAT TO
GIVE ACCESS TO OTHER MACHINES
2. Client machines using gateway machine as a gatway
to internet
3. VMWare on the client machine using 192.168.253.1 as
a vmnet interface and 192.168.253.2 for the windows 98 os.

Client machines work fine. I can access internet from vmware 
on the gateway machine. But if VMWare started on the client machine
the internet is inacessible from the virtual machine, though it can ping
the other client machines.

NAT is configured for all unregistered address (i guess it is 192.168.x.x)
All machines 4.1-stable with the same hardware and kernel config.

For example: 
gateway: 192.168.0.1
client 192.168.0.13
vmnet: 192.168.253.1
win98: 192.168.253.2 uses 192.168.253.1 as a gateway
from win98 i can ping 192.168.253.1 AND 192.168.0.13
but cannot ping 192.168.0.1

Any ideas?

Artem
