Hi, I'm new to VM fusion having just installed it last month. No problems with IE until this week, but now I can not connect to the Internet. I'm not skilled using Windows (Vista Home Basic is installed). Earlier this week I upgraded to version 2.0.5, so this could be a factor (?). I can use Safari and Opera on the mac OSX side. The message I get when running the windows network diagnostics is "windows found a problem that can not be repaired automatically". Thanks for any assistance.

Me too...
After upgrading to 2.0.5, internet access was lost.
No problem accessing the internet on the Mac side though.
Is there a fix?

Try the following command (quit from VMware first). Mentioned elsewhere in these forums, and worked for me.

sudo /Library/Application Support/VMware Fusion/boot.sh --restart

i have a residual issue with the guest OS not shutting down after the host OS has come out of a sleep. Will post separately about that.

Cheers

Dave

Thanks for the information. Since my computer is at home, I tried using the bridged network instead of NAT mode, and so far this is working.
