VMware Player 4.0 - network config choices
The VMware manual "Getting Started w VMware Player" describes 3 choices to config a virtual network: (1) NAT (2) Bridged (3) Host only. But it's not clear to me which one(s) is most appropriate for my simple VM - the host OS is Win 7 Home, the guest OS is Win XP Pro (couldn't be any simpler right ?).
I've tried the NAT config but was unable to connect to the internet. The "network connections" for the VM showed a big red 'X' over the connection icon and said that the cable was disconnected. But the host is able to access the internet using the same cable. I'm a newbie to VM so don't know if i failed to config properly or there is a bug in VM Player 4.0.4
Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Thanx.
