Cannot connect to internet with VMware running on Windows 7

Try switching to bridged networking mode. When just trying to let a VM access the Internet, I've found it's easiest to use bridged networking so it appears as another networked computer.

    My OS is Windows 7. I installed VMware version 7. I am running Mac OS X virtually. But I am not able to access to internet. I am using wireless internet in my host box (Windows 7).

    I also tried the bridged mode, but it's also not working.

      Have you checked for port availability within VMware VSwitch?

    Perhaps try giving the VM a static IP address, at least for testing?
