Default pkg_add on a virtual guest bsd
Hi, I am trying to install compat6x-i386 on a VMware guest freeBSD.
Since I dont have vmWare tools installed, I cannot access other files through the BDS guest, except through vmWare virtual cdrom.
So I converted the package file into an .iso file and mounted it.
But I get message like pkg_add: can't stat package file '...'.

I need this package in order to finish installation of vmWare tools...

Enable sshd and ssh or scp the file to/from the virtual machine.

Does your virtual machine have network?

Then download PuTTY and WinSCP.

I dont think so, I just installed it..
I set some IP, gateway and so on settings at instalation time, but just exploring basic commands now. No graphic interface, no browser.
As I understand, I cannot directly acces the bds folder structure from windows, inside the vmware file that hosts freeBSD

What happens when in the virtual machine, as root you type:

pkg_add -r compat6x-i386

Ok. Can you ping that IP address from the Windows host?

If that works go in the fbsd VM and edit /etc/rc.conf, add this:

Code:
sshd_enable="YES"
Reboot or start sshd by hand with # /etc/rc.d/sshd start.

On your Windows host, install PuTTY and use it to connect to the IP address of your virtual machine. You can use WinSCP to transfer files back and forth.

No.

Back to basics... On Windows, Start -> Run... cmd.exe

On that prompt ping <ip address>.

A better test is to do it from the BSD side: ping <ip of windows>

If that works, then you have a working network, and can just use pkg_add -r <package name> to install packages automatically.

Good in networking and protocols as much as in unix...
Actually I entered during instalation these IP, DNS and Gateway, given from my internet provider.
This is for the ethernet adapter Ipv6 protocol.
Thank u all

ping: sendto: No route to host
ping: sendto: No route to host

You cannot enter an IPv6 address during install. You can only turn on IPv6 support. Since you seem to have trouble enough with IPv4 I suggest leaving IPv6 for now.

It comes up repeatedly on the screen, cant type any comand.
So I restart the OS from the vmWare's interface.
