Ubuntu 7.10 on vmware

I have setup ubuntu 7.10 on vmware. Everything went smoothly with a few glitches. here is the work around:

1. wrong resolution during boot up:

> sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop
> sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
> sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start


or hacking on /etc/X11/xorg.conf of regenerating it, change screen resolution, add following lines in screen section

SubSection "Display"
#Modes "1280x1024" "1280x800" "1024x768" "800x600"
Modes "1280x800" "1024x768" "800x600"
EndSubSection

2. if scroll wheel not working, hack /etc/X11/xorg.conf and change mouse protocal to imps/2.


That's all, after that, everything is perfect!!

Next, setup VPN to my office. I use following guide:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VPNClient

but failed to connect if I'm using NAT, it only work in bridge mode.
