Hi, I am new to the Linux environment.  I am trying to build a virtual Free=

 the virtual Freebsd server.  I have tried using both Qemu and VMware with =
the same result.  It looks to me as though the server has a default setting=
 that allows it to contact other devices (e.g., I can ping, ftp, telnet, et=
c., other devices from my Freebsd server) but I cannot ping, ftp, telnet in=
to the Freebsd server from my host PC.  My host is a Windows 7 desktop, but=
 I have tried pinging from another virtual device and cannot get a response=
 from the Freebsd server.  I do not believe that the issue is my Windows 7 =
PC.

I have tried the newest Disk 1 ISO image of Freebsd, 8.2, but I've also tri=
ed a few other images with the same result.

I have combed through the documentation, tried configuring the firewall usi=
ng the "open" template, tried to disable the packet filter in rc.conf (pf_e=
nable=3D"NO"), to no avail.  I cannot reach the Freebsd server no matter wh=
at I have tried, and I feel I have exhausted my options.  The ports are ope=
n and responsive on the virtual server itself, but access seems to be block=
ed to the Freebsd server.

I am hoping you can tell me how to change the default settings on the Freeb=
sd server to allow access from my Windows 7 host PC.  Hopefully it does not=
 involve manually rebuilding the kernel!

Thanks for your help!
