No Internet in VM with Bridged Connection on wifi

Hi,

My laptop is connected with wifi Internet.

When I change Network Connection to Bridged Connection, no Internet in VM.

Internet works with NAT connection.

Can I connect using Bridged Connection at wifi?

Regards

Take a look at your "Virtual Network Editor": 

              Edit

                 Virtual Network Editor

Look for "vmnet0" "Type" "bridged".

Does it exist and Is it the correct WiFi device?

Is "Bridge" (connect VMs directly ...)" selected under vmnet0 below?

I opened Virtual Network Editor. When Virtual Network Editor opens I see,

Name: VMnet1

Type: Host-only

Host Connection: Connected

DHCP: Enabled

Name: VMnet8

Type: NAT

Host Connection: Connected

DHCP: Enabled

When I click Change settings, I see,

Name: VMnet0

Type:  Auto-bridging

Host Connection: blank

DHCP: blank

Do I need to remove VMnet0 network and add again?

Pls guide me.

Regards

Change from Auto to whatever your WiFi is.

Dont use Type:  Auto-bridging

Instead select the device you want to use.

It is also possible that your router does not allow 2 or more MAC addresses for a single connection.

You may have to restart VMware, I'm not sure whether the virtual network is updated dynamically or not.

I created multiple VMs. Out of all VMs, I was trying to connect Windows 7 using Bridged Connection and no Internet Connection in Windows 7.

I already done this setup in a Desktop Computer having wired-Internet connection.

Now I am trying same setup in laptop which is connected with Wifi.

I believe that you now have the correct VMware settings.

I suspect that you are now running into Windows issues on your laptop. I think Windows requires you to go  into the WiFi settings on your host laptop and create a bridge network there. I don't much deal with Windows so can't give you the details. A quick Google should find it.

As per below

When I check or un-check Replicate physical network connection state, Internet connection works and doesn't work on bridged connection but I don't what it is and does it mean.

Pls let me know. Thanks in advance.
