R: [Netkit.users] Accesing Internet from a virtual machine

Perhaps you have a firewall on the real host which blocks incoming
PING requests (while it accepts PONG replies, as it usually happens)..
try to shut down iptables (supposing you are using it as firewall)
with "/etc/init.d/iptables stop" and ping from the virtual host.. if
it works, restart iptables and add a rule to allow incoming data from
the virtual machine with this command:

iptables -I INPUT 1 -s 10.0.0.2 -j ACCEPT


Hope it helps (btw, did you receive my other replay about your problem
or did it get lost?)

Bye,
Gianni
