Re: FreeBSD as vmware guest OS and net
Sorry if I didn't make my question clear. I know my NIC card driver, the problem is when I start up BSD as a guest OS in vmware, it responds that it can't find a route to the network and I was inquiring if there was a different driver needed under vmware bridged-to-network. Thanks for the response. Jim -- In Response to your message - Date: Thu, 18 Mar 2004 15:28:34 -0500 (EST) To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (J. W.

Generally you can figure out the NIC driver by looking through the boot messages. use dmesg(8) to look at the file of messages.When you find some text looking like it is talking about a NIC, then take the two leter code it is referring to and use it as your driver - in the kernel.

I think, there are no special settings. I have network card in 'Bridged' mode and default installation of FreeBSD.
