I need to set up port forwarding to my VM in Fusion 5. Everywhere on the net, the solution is described as editing the file:
/Library/Application Support/VMware Fusion/vmnet8/nat.conf
However, on my install, that file doesn't exist. Neither does the vmnet8 directory.
Here is the full content of VMware stuff I have in /Library/Application Support/:
/Library/Application Support/
VMware/
VMware Fusion
AdminWritable
Shared
vmInventory
usbarb.rules
VMware Fusion
That's right: /Library/Application Support/VMware Fusion/
exists but is empty. And there is no VMware folder in other Library directories on my system. I am running OS X 10.8.2.
I just reinstalled Fusion 5.02, no change. Meanwhile, I have 3 VMs that work just fine.
So how am I supposed to set up port forwarding with Fusion 5?
Thanks,
JD
Edit: in a hunch, I tried ps ax | grep natd
which returned:
9646 ?? S 0:00.01 /Applications/VMware Fusion.app/Contents/Library/vmnet-natd -s 7 -m /Library/Preferences/VMware Fusion/vmnet8/nat.mac -c /Library/Preferences/VMware Fusion/vmnet8/nat.conf
So it seems that the configurations files are now in the directory /Library/Preferences/VMware Fusion
. I'll work from here and edit this question as I make progress.
