On my physical laptop I have Windows 7 installed along with VMWare 7. Now I create a virtual machine and installed Linux Mint 9 on it and everything works on the virtual machine.
When I try to access the internet from inside my VM I don't have any connection except one called: "auto eth0" listed as an available connection.
When I try to click that connection the 'connecting' animation runs, but nothing else happens.
What can I do thanks.

If you have multiple network adapters (including both virtual and hardware) installed, go to each one and make sure that "VMware Bridge Protocol" is only checked on the adapter you actually connect to the internet with. In my case, I have some virtual adapters installed by VMware, my bluetooth radio, and an extra wifi adapter installed by my wireless drivers (for connection sharing). VMware will by default install this Bridge protocol on all adapters it did not install itself, and even if you only use one network adapter, there might be extra virtual ones confusing VMware.
