Within your VM, as noted by another person that replied to this thread, set your network interface for DHCP in /etc/rc.conf like so: ifconfig_em0="DHCP" I use e1000 network devices, so my network interface is "em0" - yours may be different. When the VM boots, it queries VMnet8's DHCP server for an IP address, gateway and DNS servers. These will likely be the same as those on your host machine. The VM will have outbound Internet access, but will only be able to provide services to your host machine. If you want the VM to provide services to the outside world, you can bind its network interface to VMnet1 (Bridged) instead of VMnet8, and it will receive a public IP address, assuming your ISP has allocated additional ones to you. Otherwise, you may be able to configure your router to use your single public IP address and port forward inbound connections to your VM. Hope that helps, Greg - -- Greg Larkin http://www.FreeBSD.org/ - The Power To Serve http://www.sourcehosting.net/ - Ready. Set.
