i have used workstation and server and can't get the bridged network to work for the guest OS. I don't have any firewalls and the guest OS gets DHCP info but can't connect to the DNS server. I am at a loss. Is there some kind of imcompatibility with certain NICs? I even tried Sun Virtual box and it doesn't work there either. I need to know if i should get a new NIC or if there is another option i am missing.
edit: i did install another NIC and the problem persists. it definitely seems like a problem on the Host OS. I have the same identical setup on a home computer and it works fine. the PC that has the issue is on a windows domain, running Win 7 64 bit.
