    You can manually do it by editing: /Library/Preferences/VMware\ Fusion/vmnet{{ N }}/nat.conf

    Lets say you want to forward port 80:

    docker-machine ip {{ your machine name }}

    edit
    /Library/Preferences/VMware\ Fusion/vmnet8/nat.conf

    Find the section:

    [incomingtcp]
    # Use these with care - anyone can enter into your VM through these...
    # The format and example are as follows:
    #<external port number> = <VM's IP address>:<VM's port number>
    80 = {{ your machine ip }}:80
    Now run the following:

    sudo /Applications/VMware\ Fusion.app/Contents/Library/vmnet-cli --stop
    sudo /Applications/VMware\ Fusion.app/Contents/Library/vmnet-cli --start
    Evidently the Pro versions of Fusion (6,7,8) have a GUI for doing this.
