Yesterday the technician told me to configure bridging in VMware when I created the virtual Freebsd server. This worked fine, but I'm wondering if there is a way to configure this outside of VMware. I tried this on a Freebsd v8.2: > > ifconfig bridge create > ifconfig bridge0 addm em0 addm em1 up #interface names are em0 and em1 > > But it did not work. I assigned an IP address to em0 but could not access it from my Windows 7 host, although I could ping that address from the virtual server (TCP/IP stack was working).

In FreeBSD as guest you don't need to configure bridge. http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/network-bridging.html
