Hi, I am new to the Linux environment.=A0 I am trying to build a virtual Fr= eebsd server to run another virtual device (a Juniper router).=A0 I have fo= und that after building the base operating system that I cannot remotely ac= cess the virtual Freebsd server.=A0 I have tried using both Qemu and VMware= with the same result.=A0 It looks to me as though the server has a default= setting that allows it to contact other devices (e.g., I can ping, ftp, te= lnet, etc., other devices from my Freebsd server) but I cannot ping, ftp,= =A0telnet into the Freebsd server from my host PC.=A0 My host is a Windows = 7 desktop, but I have tried pinging from another virtual device and cannot = get a response from the Freebsd server.=A0 I do not believe that the issue = is my Windows 7 PC. =A0 I have tried the newest Disk 1=A0ISO image of Freebsd, 8.2, but I've also t= ried a few other images with the same result. =A0 I have combed through the documentation, tried configuring the firewall usi= ng the "open" template, tried to disable the packet filter in rc.conf (pf_e= nable=3D"NO"), to no avail.=A0 I cannot reach the Freebsd server no matter = what I have tried, and I feel I have exhausted my options.=A0 The ports are= open and responsive on the virtual server itself, but access seems to be b= locked to the Freebsd server. =A0 I am hoping you can tell me how to change the default settings on the Freeb= sd server to allow access from my Windows 7 host PC.=A0 Hopefully it does n= ot involve manually rebuilding the kernel! =A0 Thanks for your help!
