I have searched high and low for an answer, and I have spend hours experimenting. Bridged networking broke for me when 2.6.21 came out and has never worked since.Is the host on a wired or wireless network? I found bridged wouldn't work over wireless, so I use NAT on my laptop.
I don't know if this is relevant, but two things:1. The VMware devices that are used are VMware Accelerated AMD PCNet Adapter #5 (for NAT on vmnet8) and VMware Accelerated AMD PCNet Adapter #4 (for eth0 on vmnet0). I wonder why they aren't assigned to adapters in the range 0-3? I never see adapter #0 or #1, even when I use WinXP's Device Manager (with hidden devices visible).
2. There is a Gentoo directory called /etc/vmware/vmnet8, but no directory /etc/vmware0. Yes, the eth0 bridge is up:
$ ps -efww | fgrep bridge ==>root 30055 1 0 09:32 ? 00:00:00 \ /opt/vmware/workstation/bin/vmnet-bridge -d \ /var/run/vmnet-bridge-0.pid /dev/vmnet0 eth0
/dev/vmnet0 exists and has the same owner and permissions as /dev/vmnet8. --- Vladimir -- Vladimir G. Ivanovic
