The above information says it all, I guess. I was confused, because the vmware3 ports speaks of no support for bridging. This must be some other kind of bridging ;-) As you tell me, this is a normal story and I don't expect to have difficulties with it. My next question is irrelevant too, I guess. If I give my vm-winbox a 'normal' local IP there is no need for the freebsd machine to act as gateway (away with it from rc.conf) and I also don't need ipnat. The normal firewall rules will do. If I'm wrong I like to hear it. That's why I'll leave the quetion intact. > > -did I get the ipnat rules correct? > > If you decide to use a ip-address in your localnet ip-range, just > duplicate the host-specfic rules and change the host-ip(192.168.11.22) > to your win-guest-ip (192.168.11.nnn) in theese rules.
