Can't access the Internet in VMware Workstation
- Select bridged networking for the VM.
- Reboot the VM.
- Troubleshoot networking in the VM as if it were a real PC on your
network that can't connect to the Internet. As an example:
- What
does
ifconfig -a
say? Do you have a real IP address from your network? If you use static IPs, then go configure one for this VM in Ubuntu. - Can you ping the host's (Win7) IP address from the guest?
- Can you ping the private address of your router or default gateway? 3d) Can you ping www.superuser.com?
- What
does
It's likely something in your guests network settings changed, maybe it thinks you have a new network card, maybe name resolution isn't working, maybe some firewall settings changed.

I'm using VMware 7.1.2 in Windows 7 with Ubuntu 11.04 as a guest OS.
In the host OS (Windows 7), I can access the Internet without any problems but in the virtual machine I can't access the Internet.
I've tried the following but with no success:
Use all methods of connecting to the Internet in "Virtual Machine Settings":
Bridged, NAT, Custom
; none work.Used cabled and wireless connections on the PC - neither of them work.
I've used Ubuntu in VMware for several months - previously the Internet was always accessible. Could the cause of this be because I upgraded to Ubuntu 11.04?
