Hi, Could someone tell me how to enable Bridge mode? I just change the network settings of my virtual machine, change it to bridged mode. I also select the eth0, which is the physical interface of my system. Then in my virtual machine, I add one line: ifconfig_em0="DHCP" in /etc/rc.conf file. I have changed each of the five virtual interfaces Intel and ..., but I could not get network access. If I use NAT mode, one of these five interfaces works fine. But now I do need the Bridged mode because one of my machine would be a server in my experiment. Hope to hear from you. Thanks in advance. Best, W.W._______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
