Configure settings to connect to internet using vmplayer 4 in windows 7 64-bit

[compuluv]

I just made a virtual machine with windows 7 64-bit on my windows 7 desktop that is connected by LAN. I am trying to access the internet and after playing with the  settings enough I am able to be connected to my internet but when I go  to open a webpage like google then it says internet explorer cannot  display webpage. I am not sure if the problem is with my host computer  or my virtual computer. I can send you IP's if that will help. PLEASE HELP! Thanks!

Welcome ot the Community,

how did you configure the VM's virtual network settings? I'd suggest you set them to "NAT" and then run "ipconfig /release" followed by "ipconfig /renew" in the VM.

Here are my settings:

gateway ip: 192.168.76.2

Subnet IP: 192.168.76.0

Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0

Start IP: 192.168.76.128

End IP: 192.168.76.254

I edited them with visual network editor.

Please post the output of "ipconfig /all" for the host as well as the guest to see whether there's an issue with the network settings.

You may also check whether your AV on the host blocks any traffic.

Figured it out! I had to change my configuration script in internet explorer -> LAN settings to match my settings on my computer.

Thanks for your help!
