Following these instructions: http://forums.bsdnexus.com/viewtopic.php?id=1534 I have installed vmware with bridged networking, but have chosen host networking for my VMs [1]. On the host system, I see, with 'ifconfig -a': bge0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 options=1b<RXCSUM,TXCSUM,VLAN_MTU,VLAN_HWTAGGING> inet 192.168.0.2 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.0.255 ether 00:30:1b:bc:7a:23 media: Ethernet autoselect (100baseTX <full-duplex>) status: active lo0: flags=8049<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 16384 inet6 fe80::1%lo0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x2 inet6 ::1 prefixlen 128 inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff000000 vmnet0: flags=8842<BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 ether 00:bd:76:2d:e7:01 vmnet1: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 inet 192.168.0.90 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.0.255 ether 00:bd:97:ab:ac:02 Opened by PID 23217 I have this in my /usr/X11R6/etc/vmware/config file: vmnet1.Bridged = "YES" vmnet1.BridgeInterface = "bge0" vmnet1.HostOnlyAddress = "192.168.0.90" vmnet1.HostOnlyNetMask = "255.255.255.0" The bottom line is, if I configure my winXP guest to have IP 192.168.0.90, it complains that that address is already in use, and I can see it in the winXP arp table. BUT, I cannot ping it. If I give it 192.168.0.91, it isn't on the network. It can still see .90 (is in the arp table) but it can't ping it. What step have I missed in making networking work for my guest VMs ? I tried 'kldload bridge.ko' but that did not help ... Thanks. [1] at least, I am fairly certain I installed the port with bridged networking ... is there any way I can verify this ? ____________________________________________________________________________________You snooze, you lose.
