next in thread | raw e-mail | index | archive | help
I have vMWare installed under FreeBSD 4.6.2. vMWare is running W2K guest OS.
The access to internet is going through ISP (cable modem attached to network
adapter Realtek). The policy of ISP (in order to prevent private network
behind one computer) is that each computer (or rather each network card)
needs to be registered. When the vMWare was installed (with hostOnly option)
every attempt to access interenet was finished by redirecting to ISP www
page where I was asked to register another computer. In hostOnly mode vMWare
is using vmnet1 interface to communicate (details listed below). This
protocol has obviously different MAC ADDRESS than rl0 interface that is real
network card (details also listed below). I was trying to redirect the
vmnet1 through rl0 using natd (detailes of natd.conf listed below) but
without any effect. My understanding is that the ISP system recognize the
MAC ADDRESS of vmnet1 and threfore is asking for registration. It means that
the MAC of vmnet1 somehow should be altered - I do not know how.
I was asking some friends for help and one of the advise was that vMWare
should be installed and executed in Bridged mode. So I did it but when I was
trying to start guest OS vMWare send warning that there is no vmnet0
interface. I went through the vMWare script (located in
/usr/etc/...something) that initalize vMWare and could not find any
refference to vmnet0. Is it enough to use MAKEDEV or some other tools should
also be used.
In general my question is: How to connect guest OS of vMWare to internet
through ISP in case when system of ISP recognize the MAC address of
interface and is not allowing to access internet without registration - by
the way registration is not free of charge.
