My host computer is Windows 7 professional 64-bit. I have left everything as the default settings. On my host computer I have my wireless connection connected to my router getting an IP via DHCP, and it is connected and on the internet. I also have 2 more connections, VMware Network Adapter VMnet1 and VMnet 8 both are listed as No Internet Access under Access Type and are listed as unidentified network. On my guest OS I am connected via Nat and when I first start my virtual machine my network adapter shows as connected with local and internet access but after about 5 seconds it changes to Local only. My host computer is using an IP scheme of 192.168.1.x and my guest os is using 192.168.19.x. I'm not sure where to begin. I've tried google and to know avail. I hope I have not confused things by giving too much information that may be irrelevent and possibly left some important things out. Please help. Thanks in advance.</P></BODY></HTML> Mon, 06 Feb 2012 03:30:49 GMT https://communities.vmware.com/t5/VMware-Workstation-Pro/Having-a-problem-connecting-to-the-internet-with-Workstation-6-5/m-p/289696#M11962 jkb96 2012-02-06T03:30:49Z Re: Having a problem connecting to the internet with Workstation 6.5 https://communities.vmware.com/t5/VMware-Workstation-Pro/Having-a-problem-connecting-to-the-internet-with-Workstation-6-5/m-p/289697#M11963 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P><SPAN>Check if disabling the host firewall resolves.

Do you think that the problem is in the fact that my virtual machine is using a different subnet from my host machine? Any other suggestions?</P><P></P><P>Thanks </P></BODY></HTML> Mon, 06 Feb 2012 14:47:32 GMT https://communities.vmware.com/t5/VMware-Workstation-Pro/Having-a-problem-connecting-to-the-internet-with-Workstation-6-5/m-p/289698#M11964 jkb96 2012-02-06T14:47:32Z Re: Having a problem connecting to the internet with Workstation 6.5 https://communities.vmware.com/t5/VMware-Workstation-Pro/Having-a-problem-connecting-to-the-internet-with-Workstation-6-5/m-p/289699#M11965 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>If you is using NAT, you must have different subnets.
