Fusion Bridged network problems.

[hugop]

Is there a way to set the default bridged network as eth0?

The installer is always using eth1 (wireless) as the bridged network, but I want it to use eth0 instead. There is a way around this, which is to disable Airport (eth1), but this is not ideal.

Does anyone know how to make the briged network use eth0 by default?

There's currently no GUI way to do this, but you can edit /Library/Application Support/VMware Fusion/boot.sh (look for the line about en0 - uncomment this line and comment out the one about bridging to the primary interface). Then restart the networking daemons with

sudo /Library/Application Support/VMware Fusion/boot.sh --restart

This looks like it answers a question I had, but it leads to my next question: Is there a way that some VMs can be bridged to one NIC and other VMs bridged to another?
