Now after some cvsup, I'm trying again to build up vmware, so I 'made' it again, but this time giving a private IP ('cause I know that with FreeBSD it works only as a standalone host), so in /usr/local/etc/vmware/config I have these rows: vmnet1.HostOnlyAddress = "192.168.0.1" vmnet1.HostOnlyNetMask = "255.255.255.0" the problem is that if I try to run vmware it finds that the IP of vmnet1 is the public one I gave the first time, as a matter of fact, this is the output of ifconfig: koan@satori:~$ ifconfig vmnet1 vmnet1: flags=8843 mtu 1500 inet 213.92.4.186 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 213.92.4.255 ether 00:bd:26:05:00:01 So, I changed it with ifconfig, but it will change again at the newt reboot, anyone knows how can I change it in a permanent way? Thank you. p.s.
