Hm. I'm using windows in vmware. I know you have to define a default route
on the vmware side (in linux). That should be something like:
route add default 192.168.0.1 (or whatever vmnet1 shows up as in freebsd).
Also, i'm not sure, but I think you need to assign an ip address to
eth0. I dont know the exact command in linux, but its something like
ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.2 netmask 255.255.255.0
^^^^^^^^^^--linux's ethernet address in vmware
