I have everything working except for the networking (which is proving to be very difficult). I followed Phusion's guide for VMWare 2 and FreeBSD 4.10 located here: http://www.packetwatch.net/documents/guides/freebsd/vmware2.php Previously I had tried 4.10, but I think at that time I was erroneously entering "vmnet1" in to the NIC config, instead of "/dev/vmnet1". I was also getting ATA errors on that particular machine's 200GB drives, which is prolly a completely different problem. My Win 2000 Pro virtual machine can ping itself, but not the host machine, or any of my other LAN machines. Christian emailed me some instructions that differ from Phusion's regarding the configuration of the /usr/local/etc/vmware/config file. Christian has these 2 lines while Phusion does not (and I tried it both ways): vmnet1.Bridged = "YES" vmnet1.BridgedInterface = "x10" Phusion does mention the "x10" in his instructions for the /etc/rc.firewall. My IP setting are: Linksys Router: 192.168.0.1 FreeBSD 4.10-Stable PC Static IP: 192.168.0.24 DNS Server: 167.206.1.103 Gateway: 192.168.0.1 SubnetMask: 255.255.255.0 VMWare /usr/local/etc/vmware/config: vmnet1.HostOnlyAddress = "192.168.0.10" vmnet1.HostOnlyNetMask = "255.255.255.0" (also from Christian's doc) vmnet1.Bridged = "YES" vmnet1.BridgedInterface = "x10" Win2000 Pro Virtual PC Static IP: 192.168.0.11 Gateway: 192.168.0.10 SubnetMask: 255.255.255.0 I made the changes to my kernel, /etc/rc.conf, /etc/rc.firewall, and /etc/fstab that Phusion indicated. Any ideas why my Virtual Machine cannot ping either the "HostOnly" IP or the FreeBSD's machine normal IP? It also cannot ping my Linksys router, or any of my other machines. Inside the VM I have the NIC defined as "Custom" and "/dev/vmnet1". The HostOnly and Bridged options did not work, as they seemed to be leaving off the "/dev/" in front of vmnet0 and vmnet1 (as I did too!). Aside from no networking, Win 2000 Pro seems to be running pretty well inside VMWare 2.0. thx!
