Just changing the VMnet is not enough and is but one of two changes that need to be made. your last reply so as to make this easier to read. I really do appreciate your considerable assistance! Is there a properties change you suggest for either of those, or is there something else you would suggest? In the Network Connection list of Windows, I have 2 adapters named Local Area Connection 3 and Local Area Connection.

In the player, I've tried swapping the host-only and bridged settings on the two adapters, but no change in results to get out to the Internet.

I'm not sure I understand how to resolve the issue you raised in the above quote. You wrote, "The other issue is if the Host Network Adapter that you've bridged the VM to isn't on the same Subnet as statically set in the Guest then you're going to have to modify the settings in the Guest on that Adapter." No effect on inability to ping google from the player. Applied the change with the editor's "Apply" button. Used the Virtual Netowrk Editor to set VMnet2 to bridged and selected the Intel Centrino adapter, since the Intel Gigabit adapter is bridged on VMnet0. I inherited the image, but I'll change the domain as you suggest to one that we have registered. I'm wondering if I have to open a new command window with each test. Now, I don't know if it matters or not which adapter in the player is set for host-only and which for bridged, but I've tried all sorts of combinations with no luck, including checking and not-checking the checkbox labeled "Replicate physical connection state" under the "Bridged" radio button. I suppose it's a virtual cable that is virtually unplugged. There is a player reaction when I select and apply some adapters - that is, I get the message "a network cable is unplugged," though my network cable is clearly plugged in. I'm not sure which of the adapters to use, so I've tried each one. I've selected each available adapter and clicked "apply" then tried in the VM to ping but no luck. Now, in that tool I've got VMnet8 with NAT external connection (the default setting) and WMnet0 set to Bridged. I downloaded the 3.1 player installer and extracted the files, extracted Virtual Network Editor by clicking on the cab file. Yes it is supported however it requires that the Host be connected to a LAN in which either a DHCP Server is present or you would need to configure the Network Adapter's settings from within the Guest.

One question: Is bridged networking supported for Windows 7 hosts with VMWare Player? There seems to be some noise about that in Googlespace. Then turn off automatic bridging and set VMnet0 to a specific adapter.

Note: ( is a series of numbers representing the version and build numbers.) You can create a shortcut for it and place it with the VMware Player shortcut. Then extract the contents and then in the network.cab extract the vmnetcfg.exe to the C:\Program Files\VMware/VMware Player folder.

In VMware Player 3.x the Virtual Network Editor (vmnetcfg.exe in Windows) is not installed by default however you can execute VMware-player-.exe with the -help argument to get syntax to extract the contents. The player help file makes no mention of it. I don't know what the "virtual network editor" is.
