I use 'host only' network for VMWare. Set up the vmnet1 iface as 10.207.1.2, the VM uses 10.207.1.3. Compile IPFW and IPDIVERT into kernel. Load these ipfw rules : /sbin/ipfw -f flush /sbin/ipfw add divert natd all from any to any /sbin/ipfw add pass all from any to any natd -u -s -m -a [Your real IP addr here] -l Why all this? Well, now I can share VMWare images between different host machines, with outgoing network access. All host machines have a 'hidden' 10.207.1.* 'network'. Also I discovered that full screen mode works great on multi-headed X!
