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
