Why use a bridge? Vmware-Nat is easier, and more versatile in that you can run your vmware-nat on wireless or wired host network (whereas some wireless cards can't be bridged). Nat is also somewhat more secure because you do not expose the virtual machine directly to the network. -- __________________________ John Andersen ScreenIO.Com ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
