How to reroute traffic using two servers

you would need to use a Bridged Network interface with your vmware guest, in order to get the external traffic passed IN to your guest OS. The NAT is generally not a one-to-one NAT in vmware, thus inbound traffic that is not part of an established TCP session is dropped with nowhere to go.

Configure Guest OS

Start Vmware application > Select Virtual machine >Click on VM >Select Settings >Select Ethernet1 > Select Network Connection: “Host-only: A private network shared with the host” >Click ok to save
