I have had constant problems with getting my server connected to the internet. At first, all I had to do was install VMware tools to get the network driver. Then, after I installed all the critical updates from Windows Update, I am again unable to connect to the internet. Now I am lost as to how to get my server reconnected.
Here are My IP Config settings for host and guest:

Any ideas of what I can do? I have tried messing with some network adapter settings on my host, and nothing has worked. I haven't tried forcing a hardware mac bridge because I am not sure that is what I want.
