Two questions

[afiddler10]

Yesterday I received some very helpful advice from your technician.  I hope you 
can answer these two questions today!
 
I am trying to configure Freebsd so that I can access it from my host PC, which 
is Windows 7.  Yesterday the technician told me to configure bridging in VMware 
when I created the virtual Freebsd server.  This worked fine, but I'm wondering 
if there is a way to configure this outside of VMware.  I tried this on a 
Freebsd v8.2:
 
ifconfig bridge create
ifconfig bridge0 addm em0 addm em1 up   #interface names are em0 and em1
 
But it did not work.  I assigned an IP address to em0 but could not access it 
from my Windows 7 host, although I could ping that address from the virtual 
server (TCP/IP stack was working).  Is there something else I need to do to get 
this to work?
 
My second question is that this command is not in an older version of Freebsd 
that I am using, v4.11.  Do you have other commands to create a bridged 
interface on this version?
 
Thanks for your help!

Remote access to Freebsd server

[afiddler10]

Hi, I am new to the Linux environment.  I am trying to build a virtual Freebsd 
server to run another virtual device (a Juniper router).  I have found that 
after building the base operating system that I cannot remotely access the 
virtual Freebsd server.  I have tried using both Qemu and VMware with the same 
result.  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, telnet, etc., other devices 
from my Freebsd server) but I cannot ping, ftp, telnet into the Freebsd server 
from my host PC.  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.  I do 
not believe that the issue is my Windows 7 PC.
 
I have tried the newest Disk 1 ISO image of Freebsd, 8.2, but I've also tried a 
few other images with the same result.
 
I have combed through the documentation, tried configuring the firewall using 
the open template, tried to disable the packet filter in rc.conf 
(pf_enable=NO), to no avail.  I cannot reach the Freebsd server no matter 
what I have tried, and I feel I have exhausted my options.  The ports are open 
and responsive on the virtual server itself, but access seems to be blocked to 
the Freebsd server.
 
I am hoping you can tell me how to change the default settings on the Freebsd 
server to allow access from my Windows 7 host PC.  Hopefully it does not 
involve manually rebuilding the kernel!
 
Thanks for your help!
