I don't know how it is done. But I have successfully configured a NAT device which the vmware guest uses to connect to the Internet. While you probably can't look at the source of vmware, you can probably check out virtual box. Seems vbox can do this as well. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=782936 >> Is it possible to use a host-only virtual network instead? > > Yes, but setting it up is clunky. > > Create an etherstub (see dladm) and use that as the bridge device for > the guest domains.
