Not sure if I can offer much advice except to troubleshoot whatever WAN you're using. For a 3G card, this usually means talking to your carrier, frustrating as that may be. @alex: If the WAN side is having trouble it’s not going to be fixed by anything on your local net.

Thanks for the kind words. No, I didn't yet try the VMware Fusion 2.0 BETA. I've been spending most of my time playing with the VMware <em>Server</em> 2.0 BETA instead, which I run off a Linux box for the purpose of creating staging and testing environments for web sites I develop. I really like the new Web-based UI, and I'm glad to see that VMware is doing everything "right" by creating SSL certificates and integrating nicely with the host OS's own access control and authentication schemes.

Then install the right drivers in Windows and it can do it's own dialling. :-) Nice article - you're right the Windows Workstation version of VMware just seems to work better for stuff like this. However, Fusion is catching up nicely. Have you tried the v2.0 BETA? If you have a USB 3G modem you can just let the Windows OS ’see’ this hardware directly.
