I don't think it's a OpenBSD Problem. How does the vswitch configs look? I believe (I don't know because you tell not exactly) you have 2 vswitches, both connected with your OpenBSD machine. Do you have 2 other machines, one connected vswitch0 and the other one with vswitch1? Also I believe, that you use the same IP-Range on both vswitches. Have you defined the IP-Range on both switches? Vswitches are normally really stupid, but VmWare has put some sort of "intelligence" in them, so maybe the vswitches work together, if both have the same ip range defined and packets go direct from one machine to another without passing your bridge. To be honest. I think this question is for a vmware mailing list. guido
