VMware Server 2.0 one-to-one NAT through SonicWALL?

I have installed VMware 2.0 on a host and have setup a Windows 2003 machine on it. On my SonicWALL I have setup a one-to-one NAT but it is not working. When I delete the NAT it works fine, going through the default gateway.

So for some reason the one-to-one NAT does not work from the VMware NIC to the SonicWALL. The NIC is currently set to bridged mode and works fine unless I NAT it. Anyone have any idea how I can get the NAT working?

What is not working? Incoming traffic from external or the VM cant go Internet?

Have you set the Properties of the NIC of the NIC to use Vm-nat & not bridged?

It can be set under the VM console where you can upgrade (add hardware) to a virtual machine.

Yes, NAT does not work either.
How do you actually set the NAT? From what IP add to what IP add?
From the private IP of the guest to the public IP that I want it to have.

We were unable to get the one-to-one NAT working and as such decided to proceed without it.
I do not object to the Author's closing the question but on the grounds "No other answers were correct" seems a like a hammer on my head as the answers provided here were very much in line with what was being discussed. I have seen many places where the answers provided were correct but just because of the inability of the Author to follow the advice given, they just vaporize.

Anyways, NetworkConsultant01 if you wish to keep the discussion open, at least I am willing to guide you step by step how to set the thing up as I think I know my stuff & if you do wish to close the question, please amend your reason for closing it like you posted in your Comment --
"We decided to proceed without it."

Comment ID 26100733 of ryder0707 & 26101799 of grtraders (me) should be given points if ryder0707 does not object to my share of points.

The original reason for closure needs to be changed if possible from :
"No other answers were correct" to "We decided to proceed without it."

That's all to it, If it is not possible to do the above, I'm fine with it and the moderator may close the question in the way, it is deemed fit.
