i run a VMWare virtual machine under my windows and openbsd runs from a physical disk partition on this virtual machine. so openbsd connects to windows through these virtual ethernet connections installed with the VMWare player. this way openbsd can use internet.
I use NAT networking with VMPlayer and this makes my Windows host with multiple *bsd guests very simple to setup. Using NAT for VMWare networking creates a 192.168.214.0/24 network with the following features: Windows host machine: 192.168.214.1 Gateway: 192.168.214.2 DNS: 192.168.214.2 Virtual Machines: 192.168.214.3-254 (I use static IPs) I don't bother with DHCP on the VMs and use static IPs (and save them in PuTTY sessions). The VMs have no problems accessing the web over any wired or wireless network on the host. I do not use any services on my host machine from the VMs, but I'm certain setting DISPLAY="192.168.214.1:0" should allow you to run X apps. - Raja
