hi

i'm trying to configure host-only networking for vmware2 in freebsd4.6.  win2k is my guest os.  everything works pretty well, i just have no internet connection at this point.  the documentation for freebsd/vmware on the internet is a little confusing - some say that bridged is supported, some say that host-only is the only type of networking supported.  i'm trying to configure host-only - i've redid my network configuration using /stand/sysinstall and set it so that  my /etc/rc.conf file reads

gateway_enable="YES"

i then went into /etc/hosts and added the ip address for the vmnet1 virtual ethernet adapter.  then i started vmware and configured networking so that it was using dhcp with my physical nic as a gateway.

anyways, no dice.  i am pretty sure i'm missing something.  if anyone can point me towards some concise documentation on how to do this correctly i'd much appreciate it - the docs on the vmware site are not very helpful because they are written for linux hosts mainly.

please help

thanks
r.
