hi jnsmith,
I am presuming that you want to bridge to a VLAN interface created on the host. We don't support bridging to VLANs on Fusion, although we are considering adding this feature if there strong use case for it. Pls. watch out for Beta2.

thanks!

Hello,

1. I need to connect two virtual interfaces on a single VM
back-to-back, similar to a crossover connection between two physical
ports.

2. I also have 802.1q running on 2 VMs but I am unable to ping between
the VM vlans . The ethernet port on the switch that the MAC (apple)
connects to is a trunk port and the VM mac addresses show up in the
mac-table on the switch in the relevant vlans.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

There are details on Fusion's networking internal in Dave's excellent whitepaper: How to modify Fusion network settings whitepaper

This no longer seems to work with Fusion 1.1. I re-edited the boot.sh file after the upgrade and I can no longer force the VM to a specific interface.

Anyone have it working?

Hello,

I am tying to get VMWare Fusion working to work with a bridged interface to a vlan tagged (802.1q) interface on Leopard. I can get a host only and NAT but binds to the wrong interface. Has anyone got this to work? I am running Vmware 1.1

Thanks.
