Newly downloaded VMware Workstation 17 is not connecting

[abayour]

I recently downloaded VMware workstation 17 and wanted to use EVE-NG on it , but I can get it to connect , while installing EVE-ng OS on it, I selected to use host-only but while installing the Eve-ng I could not get past apt-get update and apt-get upgrade.

Need some help to get this VMware working .

Well, the definition of host-only networking is exactly that... the VM will connect to the host but nothing else.  If you need connection to the outside world, you need either Bridged or NAT networking.
