FreeBSD box  192.168.254.205 xe0
vmnet1           192.168.254.210 vmnet1
Gateway        192.168.254.254 default

After installing bridged networking within vmware2 I cannot
access my default gateway.

I can ping vmnet1 but not "xe0" or the "default gateway".

arp -a does nothing.

sudo route add 192.168.254.254 default does nothing either.

I have seen this.
http://www.vmware.com/support/reference/linux/networking_linux.html#changemac

And edited /etc/vmware/config to have

ethernet0.address = 00:50:56:00:00:01

I think the issue is to do with not finding a MAC address for xe0 because
vmware2 has "clashed?" somehow.

To sum up, vmware no longer runs and has taken apart my networking.

Very grateful for advice.

Thanks,
Darren
