I can run the ethernet in host-only mode, which is not what I want. When I attempt to put it into bridged mode, I get 'Device /dev/vmnet0 not configured'. I have tried the following: - symlinked /dev/vmnet0 to /usr/compat/linux/dev/vmnet1 - rewrote the vmware port install scripts to conifgure vmnet0 as opposed to vmnet1 After reconfiguring the install scripts and reinstalling, I now get 'Could not query bridging status on /dev/vmnet0' 2 reasons I want this to work is 1: just to let windows crash without taking down my system :o) and 2: I bought Visio Enterprise for the network documentation features and requires the network work in auto mode. Tks much! Steve Bertrand
