I've specifically registered a forum account here just to thank you DaveP for your immensely helpful work! Your scripts work like a charm and the accompanying PDF was very helpful in getting up and running.

@vmware: you should put this guy on your payroll and include the scripts with vmware Fusion from now on!

I applaud you for your work ! It has saved some simulation situations i've been running into a number of times.

But i still simply cannot understand why VMWare did not make a graphical tool for doing this ? On Windows the same thing is extremely easy !

Keep up the good work !

Dave, these scripts are awesome. Thank you very much. I'm still amazed at how VMware hasn't included any of this....

I do have one question. How do I make a "NAT"ed non-bridged vmnet without a DHCP server?

Thanks!

Dave, your scripts are wonderful. I have a problem with a custom VM guest reserving 172.20.208.1 & 172.20.107.1 for system tools. Is there any way to keep the host from taking the first number in the range? I tried specified 172.20.208.99 in the tokamak.sh -- modify, but it keeps taking XXX.XXX.XXX.1 for the host. I also tried a subnet of 255.255.254.0 to try range 172.20.106.1-172.20.107.254, but this does not come up running.
Any help is really appreciated.

hello,

first of all i would like to thank you for your work. i couldn´t try the scripts because i´m running the fusion 2.0 rc1. i also have a question to the new version of the scripts. will there be support for ipv6? i need it for my studies. is there support for ipv6 in fusion at all?

greetings

sebastian

I found a work around for assigning the default Host address which works with the VM that demands the .1 IPs. After running your scripts to setup the desired networks, I then use ifconfig to bring down the desired vmnet and then bring it back up with "ifconfig <vmnet_id> <new IP> 255.255.255.0 up" I used this to reassign the address to use xxx.xxx.xxx.20, instead of 1 and this works now. Of course, if I rerun the tokamak scripts, I have to run this again, but it is a working solution.
Thanks again for you scripts.
