Hi, Today I started my VM (Ubuntu) running on VMWare Player and for some reason it is not resolving DNS queries. For example if I try: dig cnn.com it will return connection timed out. but if I try dig @192.168.1.xxx cnn.com it works fine (the .xxx is my router IP address). also ping to 8.8.8.8 works fine, which indicates that NAT is working fine. Any ideas what can be wrong? Yesterday this was fine   (sorry if i posted in the wrong location)

Hi, I am new to VMplayer. I just installed VM Player 4, and followed your instrutions to extract and use vmnetcfg.exe. After I assign the interfaces do I need to make some other settings on the virtual machine? I am running the Virtual Machine on Windows 7 and the Virtual OS is CentOS version 6 ..... the problem is that I still have a single interface on CentOS. Can someone please help me? thanks in advance!
