Nope, not quite. Here's what you want Source of information: VMware Maemo Linux (inside whatever your host OS is) - using the terminal in the top bar or in the menu - nano /etc/resolv.conf to view Destination: Scratchbox (inside VMware, inside whatever your host OS is) - using the scratchbox link on the desktop of the VMware - fakeroot nano /etc/resolv.conf to edit You've essentially nested 3 deep. You can ignore the outside (windows), the settings within the first enclosure (just VMware) are your source, and you want to bring those down one more level of encapsulation (into Scratchbox) Hopefully that is clearer.
