On boot I get a vmnet 1 interface configured for me and the details are vmnet1: flags=8943 mtu 1500 inet 192.168.0.1 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.0.255 ether 00:bd:b5:0e:00:01 I am not too sure what the IP address is or where it was gleaned from because the network I am on, in fact is, 193.63.51.64/26. The IP address may be a red herring as it would appear that the vmnet and the host interface are both running in promiscuous mode - lnc0: flags=8943 mtu 1500 inet 193.63.51.95 netmask 0xffffffc0 broadcast 193.63.51.127 ether 00:06:29:50:2f:a6 If any one can shed some light on these thoughts and enlighten me I would be most appreciative. In addition to the above, when I try and power on a configured vmware instance it moans that it cannot access /dev/vmnet0. This would be true as there is no vmnet0 interface any where on the system that I can find, but I can find a /compat/linux/dev/vmnet1.
