There is nothing more simple ??

In Parallels, for the Network settings, it is easy to select which interface to use, no such settings under VMware ... I think I will keep Parallels only for that, because at least it works well.

Can't connect to Windows network

M-Rick — Wed, 05 Dec 2007 15:50:44 GMT

I use a iMac connected to a Windows network.

There is a Server on which there is a Windows only accounting software server.

Every computer as a client software that will connect it.

My Mac uses Ethernet to access the physical network, Wifi to access Internet.

In Parallels I have no problem to connect my VM to the server and use my accounting client software, and browse over Internet because I need Windows only secured softwares.

I recently decided to switch to VMware because it is more faster.

But in VMware it will not work.

Bridged : I can connect internet by Wifi, but not the Network
NAT : I see the network, but can't connect it and can't browse Internet.

Both (Bridget+NAT) : I can connect internet and I can see the network and computers, but can't conenct to them !

How can I do ?
