Cannot connect to internet (vmware 6, nat. os x 10.4.8)

[earny]

I can't connect to the internet with MAC OS X running on vmware 6 workstation. I installed the JaS MAC OS X 10.4.8 intel/AMD SSE2 + SSE3, PPF1 + PPF2 image on a dual core hp laptop

i added the e1000 line, i downloaded and installed the maxxuss and appleintel driver on the guest. Still nothing.

it won't even work with bridged networking.

I can see the ethernet adapter connected and the host and guest can ping each other, but no internet for the guest.

Anybody???HELP!!! Any ideas???

 

here's my vmx file:

 

config.version = "8"

virtualHW.version = "6"

scsi0.present = "TRUE"

memsize = "512"

ide0:0.present = "TRUE"

ide0:0.fileName = "Other-000002.vmdk"

Have you tried after updating your Workstation to the newest build - 6.0.1-55017?

Have you tried after updating your Workstation to the newest build - 6.0.1-55017?

 

I strongly recommend that you do NOT update to version 6.0.1. The newest version of VMware Workstation has stability problems in OS X and OS X might not even work on it. As for the network issue, sometimes you have to manually configure MAC address and DHCP server settings. I don't know how to do this though because there are different settings for all the different configurations

 

BTW, did you happen to use my guide? Your ISO and config file seem to match the one in my guide pretty well.

I've got the same problem. The host is Linux Ubuntu 7.04, what is yours ?

 

If XP is your host, have you tried sharing your internet connection ?
