(The NAT solution is giving me trouble, too; my next step was to refer more closely to the way that I did the IP masquerading under Linux, but if I don't have to do it, that's even better . . .) And I don't recall an option to use netgraph when I installed; should it be there by default? Indeed, I just now went & deinstall/reinstall'ed the port, and I saw no option. And it doesn't "just work"; I've tried both the two-separate networks approach and the one-network approach and it fails. Also, when I tried to set up the separate natd stuff, if I set the interface to vmnet1 it doesn't work; if I set it to ep0, then I break my host-level network, which ain't quite what I wanted. Sorry if I seem especially clueless; I'm feeling pretty clueless right now. > > Since the port mucks about with kernel modules, a virtual network > interface and whatnot, you may want to reboot. > > $.02, > /Mikko > -- > Mikko Työläjärvi_______________________________________mikko@rsasecurity.com > RSA Security -- "Brian, the man from babble-on" bts@babbleon.org Brian T.
