Hmmm... well, I am not running a DHCP server on the
FreeBSD host ... but I am running one on my network.
I switched winXP to DHCP and attempted to grab an
address, but was unsuccessful. Should it be getting
an address from the network as a whole, or do I need
to run a DHCP server on the host system ?
I'm not sure I understand what the network path is
between a host-only guest, the vmnet1 interface, and
the rest of the network ... I tried getting a DHCP
address with and without bridge.ko loaded ... both failed.
