FWIW, I always have bridging support in the kernel when I use VMware and I've never had a problem.

The simplest way is probably to set up a second (alias) IP address on the real network on the FreeBSD host. Then send a redirect_address flag to natd to it passes all the traffic to that address to a natted address on the internal (virtual in this case) network. That should get you so sharing will work, but won't get you browsing. If you don't mind using UNC paths with IP addresses in them (i.e. \\real.IP.addr\sharename) then that's fine. If browsing is a must, then install Samba on the Host and set it up as a WINS server. Then tell your virtual machine to use the FreeBSD host's vmnet interface address as its WINS server. In this case you do want the vmnet address to be on the same subnet as the guest OS.
