Hi James,
I have exactly the same problem as yours: Host=Win 7 Home Premium & VM=XP Pro and NO internet access by the VM machine.
I have no idea what path you took on the HOST to get to the images you've posted.... Can you explain that to me, please...??
This problem is driving me nuts!!
Sorry about my ignorance, I'm a newbie on VMWare Player...
Thank you very much!!
Cheers!
