Well, it doesn't.  Any ideas on where to start?

(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.
