I am running a Ubuntu inside VMware player and it was working fine. But then I updated the ubuntu to latest version of it and from then it is not able to connect to the host i.e. Windows 7. Thus it is also not able to connect to internet. Can anyone tell how do I restore the connection with host. FYI – I have VMware Player network adapter configured in Bridged mode.

Once you select the NAT, from the guest Ubuntu (12.04 for my case), choose the connection as "DHCP (Automatic)" NOT "DHCP (Automatic) addresses only". This worked for me. I am running Vista 32 Host and Ubuntu 12.04 guest.
