I have installed VMWare for the first time on two different machines; in both cases after creating an vm of Windows 2003 Server Enterprise in Ethernet Bridged mode I have the same issue.
VM starts and runs fine but has network connectivity issues.
VM instance gets an IP address from my DHCP server, it can ping hosts on my local network and on the internet (even by host name, so DNS is working). But when any application in the VM instance tries to get internet access that application fails.
For example IE can not connect to a web site on my local network or the internet even though it can ping the host web site. I tried telnet to a host with the same failed results.
I have spent some time looking through these help topics and Google and not found any answers, any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks,
SNB
