I am playing around with VMware workstation and am trying to set up a small virtual network. I am having a little trouble with this I hope somebody can help me out.

I want to have all the different virtual machines to have different internal IP adresses so I can ping them SSH etc, from within my windows machine.

I am directly connected to the internet without a router, so using a bridged connection does not seem to work. The other options NAT and host-only do not seem to work also. I think i need to create a new adapter.

I am testing this out with a virtual image of linux debain 5.0 lenny.

I have WMware Workstation 7 with virtual network editor.

Can anyone guide me in the right direction.
