How do I get VMware to look to the correct place for the >vmnet1 device instead of vmnet0? Which device it uses depends on what kind of networking you have configured in the guest OS (ie, in your virtual machine). There's "HostOnly", and there's another option called something like "Bridged". I think "HostOnly" causes vmware to use vmnet1, iirc. You would want to configure your virtual machines to use "HostOnly" even when you have selected the netgraph-bridging strategy when installing the port. This may seem non- intuitive, but remember that you're installing a Linux program on FreeBSD. There is a little bit of magic hand-waving that goes on to make all of this work. The vmware2 program is giving you options that make sense in the Linux environment, but it has no idea what is going on in the FreeBSD environment. -- Garance Alistair Drosehn = gad@gilead.netel.rpi.edu Senior Systems Programmer or gad@freebsd.org Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute or drosih@rpi.edu To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
