When installing vmware2, I recommend "netgraph bridging" (which I think you have selected). But after that install, when you go to create virtual machines, then in the VMware preferences for that virtual machine you want to say "host-only networking". When running vmware2 on freebsd-current, there is also an oversight in the port. It does not know how to set things up for a system which is using "devfs" (and that is the default on -current). You need to: cd /compat/linux/dev rm vmnet1 ln -s /dev/vmnet1 rm rtc ln -s /dev/rtc You'll then have to reboot, so the initialization of vmnet1 will be done correctly. -- Garance Alistair Drosehn = gad@gilead.netel.rpi.edu Senior Systems Programmer or gad@freebsd.org Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute or drosih@rpi.edu To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
