For FreeBSD, it's so nice to just choose an unused network (I used 10.0.0.0), enable netgraph bridging using this network (you have to edit the vmware config file though) and then, in VMWare, use hostonly networking. You can then set the IP of your guest-os as if it was physically on the local network. Thanks to Chris for telling me this as well some weeks ago. :-) Alex PS: This are the important parts of my config: zerogravity% less vmware/config vmware.fullpath = "/usr/local/lib/vmware/bin/vmware" wizard.fullpath = "/usr/local/lib/vmware/bin/vmware-wizard" dhcpd.fullpath = "/usr/local/lib/vmware/bin/vmnet-dhcpd" loop.fullpath = ""/usr/local/lib/vmware/bin/vmware-loop" libdir = "/usr/local/lib/vmware/lib" vmnet1.HostOnlyAddress = "10.0.0.1" vmnet1.HostOnlyNetMask = "255.255.255.0" and in rc.d/vmware.sh I use: networking=1 bridged=YES bridge_interface=xl0 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-emulation" in the body of the message
