I've run out of ideas. THe freebsdzine article suggests not using netgraph bridging, claiming that it is unnecessary. It then tells you to learn to use natd. The more I read of the natd and related man pages, the more convinced I am that using it without knowing what I'm doing will open a security hole the size of texas. The port defaults to using netgraph, and then offers no suggestion as to the correct answer as to which interface to use, and doesn't even offer a default. I've tried such things as vmnet0, vmnet1, /dev/vmnet0, /dev.vmnet1, /compat/linux/dev/vmnet0, and so forth. I've also tried ethernet and ethernet0. I note that at one point I had a /dev/vmnet1, but no 0, and not the 0-3 that occur under linux (which seem to come and go as well, but that seems normal for /compat). What in the world am I supposed to tell it? All I want is for my virtual linux and win98 boxes to be able to see the outside world, adn for my virtual linux to be able to use my X display rather than its own. hawk -- Prof. Richard E.
