When you install the VMware port, answer "yes" when it asks if you want to
use netgraph bridging.  Compile a kernel with bridging support (options
BRIDGE).  The VMnet module is by default initialized to use 192.168.0.1.
It should use an address on a network that is NOT IN USE.  If you use the
192.168.0.0/24 network then change this address in
/usr/local/etc/vmware/config.

Configure your virtual machine to use "host-only" networking.  This merely
tells VMware not to worry about bridging, since the FreeBSD host is doing
that for you.  Configure the guest as if it were another node on your real
network.

If you've already done all this then post again with more details.
