| | VMware Player 4.0 - unable to access internet VMware Player 4.0 installed easily under Win 7 Home. Win XP Pro also installed easily but won't allow internet access. Err msg suggests DNS error or server problem (altho i tried several different websites). Since i'm a newbie to VMware is there: (1) a simple fix ? (2) a checklist i can follow if re-install is needed ? Thanx, Bewildered Bob  |

| | Hi Bob, Do your VMWare settings look as shown below? Regards, Golden |

| | Hi Golden: YES the parameters are as you have recommended. However under Network Connections -> Local Area Connections the icon shows a big red X and err msg - "network cable unplugged". This is strange since the host (Win 7) is able to access the internet successfully using the same high-speed cable (i think). The ethernet cable connects the network adapter to a Linksys router and then to a high speed cable modem which allows access to the internet. Why would the guest (Win XP Pro) not be able to use the same hardware ? Thanx. Bewildered Bob |

| | Hi Bob, I'm unsure. Could you try the Bridged setting and see if that works? Regards, Golden |

| | I'd have to agree with the bridged mode. That will assign the VM it's own ip address |

| | Success at last ! Soadrocksever & Golden were both right on - the winning combo for me is : BRIDGED connection + replicate physical network connection state (check box) + connect at power on (check box). Thanx for the helpful tips. (no longer) Bewildered Bob  |
