I understand it when you run a guest without any networking switches, it sees an emulated ethernet interface that behaves as if it's connected to a basic NAT router. This emulation is running as an ordinary user in the host, so it can't do anything that requires root access - which is why you can't ping out. And because of the NAT you can't make incoming connections to the guest (which prevents incoming pings). IIRC there is some kind of redirection switch that will allow you to connect to guest ports via ports on the host (analogous to the port forwarding on a NAT router). _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
