I'm using VMware 7.1.2 in Windows 7 with Ubuntu 11.04 as a guest OS.

In the host OS (Windows 7), I can access the Internet without any problems but in the virtual machine I can't access the Internet.

I've tried the following but with no success:

  1. Use all methods of connecting to the Internet in "Virtual Machine Settings": Bridged, NAT, Custom; none work.

  2. Used cabled and wireless connections on the PC - neither of them work.

I've used Ubuntu in VMware for several months - previously the Internet was always accessible. Could the cause of this be because I upgraded to Ubuntu 11.04?
