Connect NAT-ed virtual adapter to USB dongle

Hello, I encountered an interesting problem. I am running VMware Player with virtual SLES machine on Windows 7.

I need to provide SLES with an access to the Internet via GSM USB dongle, set up NAT that will use this dongle.

And here comes the problem - I haven't found  any possibility, that orders VMware Player to map USB dongle's network adapter in Windows to be used for this NAT.

That virtual interface cannot be bridged, because ISP provides only one IP address - the dongle's one. SLES has to have the address, that ISP provides for the dongle.

Internet <<<<<GSM>>>>> USB dongle <<<NAT>>> Virtual interface <<>> virtual SLES

Do you happen to have solution for this problem? Thank you very much in advance.

Oh, what a thing.... we solved it - there only had to be set dynamic IP address on virtual adapters. Not static.

Now it works.
