configure win 7 to allow vmware network adapters

I am using win seven ultimate, have installed vmware workstation 7.

go to Network and Sharing Center, I see two vmware adapters being identified

as Unidentified network and No Internet Access in Access Type. These

are two default vmware adapters, according to I know, one

(VMWare Network Adapter VMnet1) for virtual machines use host-only

network, another (VMWare Network Adapter VMnet8) for virtual machines using

the NAT network.

Addition, the vmware also have a more default adapter(VMWare Network

Adapter VMnet0) for virtual machines using the bridge network. This

is the bridge over the host adapter (Local Area Connection), identify

addresse for virtual machine, it is not in the Network and Sharing Center. I install the guest OS is win XP sp 2, using the bridge bridge.This virtual machine have address in range of 192.168.1.0/24 (see

ipconfig command), can ping the 192.168.1.1, but can not connect to the

Internet as an Internet ping.

Some instruction in vb script, but i don't understand vb.

I guess that problem is related to win 7. Because my bridge machine have DHCP address supplied by modem, I cant ping 192.168.1.1, it means that packets from 192.168.1.1 is allowed. When i ping google.com,it has identified the address, but respond is request timeout. I guess that win 7 don't allow packets from Internet.

Who knows setting up properly? Help me!
