Hi, I had bridge_cfg set to xl0:0,vmnet1:0 and bridge to 1 on 4.5-STABLE and it was working fine, but the only problem I had was that I couldn't ping my FreeBSD's xl0 IP from the vmware/win2k, both OSes were unable to talk to eachother using any protocol. (AFAIK..) Now on 4.7 bridge_cfg is null and ether.bridge=0, my vmware is working AND also able to see my xl0 IP. I recently noticed that the netgraph control utility creates a node at startup by the vmware.sh script; ngctl list: Name: ngctl545 Type: socket ID: 0000000f Num hooks: 0 Name: vmnet_bridge Type: bridge ID: 00000004 Num hooks: 3 Name: vmnet1 Type: ether ID: 00000002 Num hooks: 1 Name: xl0 Type: ether ID: 00000001 Num hooks: 2 My questions is: was my routing problem between the two OSes caused by this? and was I conflicting the bridge in anyway by linking it manually (xl0:0,vmnet1:0) while it was controlled by netgraph? thanks, Ed. -- Edmond Baroud UNIX Systems Admin mailto:SoHo@admin.fido.ca Fingerprint 140F 5FD5 3FDD 45D9 226D 9602 8C3D EAFB 4E19 BEF9 "UNIX is very user friendly, it's just picky about who its friends are."
