When installing this, it asked me what addresses I wanted for my private network. I went with whatever it came up with by default. Networking for my guest OS does seem to be working right, as near as I can tell in a little bit of testing. I notice that in my host-OS (ie, the freebsd which I am running vmware from), if I send a message then sendmail comes back with the warning: gethostbyaddr(192.168.254.1) failed: 1 The message being sent at the time does get delivered correctly, but I am just wondering about the warning message. I do not have much experience with bridging issues. I added a dummy hostname (in a dummy domain) for that IP address in my /etc/hosts file. Is that a reasonable thing to do? Is there any reason for me to care about this warning? --- Garance Alistair Drosehn = gad@eclipse.acs.rpi.edu Senior Systems Programmer or drosih@rpi.edu Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-emulation" in the body of the message
