By adding the following lines to your ~/.bashrc you can simplify the tasks of blocking packets from a certian ip.

First your going to need to install IPTables:
Gentoo: emerge iptables   (Must be  Root to use/install iptables)
Ubuntu/Debian: sudo apt-get install iptables

Then edit your .bashrc file and add the following

alias blockedips="iptables -L"
alias blockip="iptables -I INPUT -j DROP -s "
alias unblockip="iptables -D INPUT -j DROP -s "

Reload your .bashrc by running source .bashrc and you should then be able to run the commands below

blockedips - Will Show all Blocked hosts
blockip IP-HERE - Will Block that ip
unblockip IP-HERE - Unblocks that ip

before we begin you will need the tar.gz version of vmware server it can be freely downloaded from here

  1. We need to create some folders to store the vmware scripts so run the following as root 
    mkdir -p /etc/rc.d/vmware.d/rc{0,1,2,3,4,5,6}.d
  2. We then need to make a symlink for lsmod 
    ln -s /bin/lsmod /sbin/
  3. We need to install some dependiencies 
    pacman -S libxtst libxt libxrender xinet
  4. Move your vmware server tarball file into /tmp and extract it 
    tar xzf VMware-server-2.0.1*.tar.gz
  5. Run vmware-install.pl 
    cd /tmp/vmware-server-distrib
./vmware-install.pl
  6. When it asks where the directories for rc0.d thru rc6.d are, use /etc/rc.d/vmware.d
    When it asks where the init directory is, use /etc/rc.d
    Select no when it asks you do you want to run vmware-config.pl
  7. Now we need to download a patch so that it will run on kernel 2.6.30

    For 64bit users

    1. cd /tmp
wget tuts4tech.net/files/vmware-server.2.0.1_x64-modules-2.6.30-fix.sh
wget tuts4tech.net/files/vmware-server.2.0.1_x64-modules-2.6.30-fix.patch
    2. We now need to run vmware-server.2.0.1_x64-modules-2.6.30-fix.sh 
      sh vmware-server.2.0.1_x64-modules-2.6.30-fix.sh

    For 32bit users

    1. cd /tmp
wget tuts4tech.net/files/vmware-6.5.2-modules-2.6.30-fix.sh
wget tuts4tech.net/files/vmware-6.5.2-modules-2.6.30-fix.patch
    2. We now need to run vmware-6.5.2-modules-2.6.30-fix.sh
      [test]sh vmware-6.5.2-modules-2.6.30-fix.sh[/test]
  8. Most of the default options should be ok for you when its finished you'll be able to access the web management console at http://your-servers-ip:8222
