OpenSuSE 10.3 in VMware Workstation 7

Oddest problem.

All networking works, but am unable to resolve DNS queries.
If I run dig or nslookup in the guest 10.3 server it fails, yet host machine
(OpenSuSE 11.2) on same machine (bridged NIC) has no issues. No firewalls in
the way, checked that. I can ping the gateway server and I can from the host
access the tomcat website I have running on the guest…but the guest cannot
do any sort of DNS query.

/etc/resolv.conf is correct, as is /etc/hosts on the guest server

???

[solved]

Problem with external firewall.
