I will write up my experience after I digest it a little more. A few of the gotchas were that I originally did not install "bridging" when I installed vmware, and when I did, I was binding it to the wrong NIC (I was binding it to Christian's NIC, lol). For some reason I *had* to select "Custom" as the VM's ethernet type, and use the value of "/dev/vmnet1" when I did. "Bridged" and "HostOnly" did not work. Also the VM's gateway setting had to be that of my Linksys router, and not the "Host IP" of my FreeBSD machine. I ended up running VMWare 2.0 on FreeBSD 4.10-Stable. I will make another attempt at VMWare 3.2 and also using FBSD 5.x when I have more time (in about 2 months). I am ecstatic, I get to run FreeBSD now! Woo Hoo!! thanks!
