Re: dnet: Failed to open device vmnet8

 Hi Mike,

 Sorry if I am teaching you to suck eggs but vmnet8 is the NAT adapter for
Fusion but I assume you didn't mean to scan the whole subnet attached to
this virtual interface? I mean you are in essessnce scanning all your NAT
guests.

 You can use the nmap --iflist to find out what IPs are bound to what
interfaces and routes are associated with each other.

 It could be that you have a real interface on the same subnet as the NAT
interface for Fusion. In that you should change the IP.

 Read this thread which contains a good PDF on changing settings within
Fusion http://communities.vmware.com/thread/97712. [1]

 A quick boot note though I have NEVER been able to get ifconfig to show
me the vmnet interfaces configuration like the document says and I have
been using Fusion for quite a while.

 Cheers,

 Matt
