This was the solution that worked for me. It's possible some things can be ignored, it was either I needed netgraph code or my kernel was out of sync when I set it up. Hope that helps someone else searching. * Compile kernel with netgraph * Reboot - use this kernel * cd /usr/ports/emulator/vmware2 * make install * Say no to netgraph bridging * 192.168.200.1 vmware ip * 255.255.255.0 * Reboot Check settings, ping ip's etc, check ifconfig -a output. Now to get the network card (Xircom CreditCard) working inside vmware should be a doddle ;-) regards, Darren > FreeBSD box 192.168.254.205 xe0 > vmnet1 192.168.200.201 vmnet1 > Gateway 192.168.254.254 default > > After installing bridged networking within vmware2 I cannot > access my default gateway. > > I can ping vmnet1 but not "xe0" or the "default gateway". > > arp -a does nothing. > > sudo route add 192.168.254.254 default does nothing either. > > I have seen this. > http://www.vmware.com/support/reference/linux/networking_linux.html#changemac > I think the issue is to do with not finding a MAC address for xe0 because > vmware2 has "clashed?" somehow. > > To sum up, vmware no longer runs and has taken apart my networking.
