Hi, I dont know if this is (AT ALL) helpful, but: I've managed to get vmware to work with the typical (non-bridged) host-only networking without any problems. I set up a seperate subnet for vmware (I used 192.168.254/24) and just had my FreeBSD box act as a gateway. This required me to set up a seperate IP for the vmnet1 interface, and the Windows Network configuration, and to set my vmnet1 IP as the default gateway in windows. Then, I enabled bridging by putting "options BRIDGE" in my kernel, and I changed my Windows IP (but not vmnet1) to be on my LAN's subnet, and this allowed me to see/talk to other machines on the LAN without problems, but I could no longer access the Internet. I also tried various different IP's for the vmnet1 interface, but to no avail. So, if you find a solution, please pass it along to me. :) If you need help/specifics on getting one of the two scenarios above to work, please reply, and I'll do my best :) On Mon, 4 Sep 2000, Michael Lyngbøl wrote: > Hi, > > The last couple of days I've been trying to setup networking the > vmware2-port.
