Details

Your virtual machine cannot access the network using bridged networking.

You are using a wireless network interface card.

Solution

Bridged networking with a wireless Ethernet adapter is supported in VMware Workstation 4 and later, VMware Player 3, VMware Server, and GSX Server 3 on Windows hosts. If you are using older versions of these VMware products, you may want to upgrade to the latest version of Workstation to gain this capability.

If your host has a wireless network adapter, you cannot use bridged networking on Linux hosts in VMware Workstation 5 or lower, VMware Server 1.x, any version of GSX Server, any hosts in VMware Workstation 3 or lower, or in VMware GSX Server 2 or lower. Under these products, if you want to run virtual machines on a host that uses wireless Ethernet adapters, you must configure your virtual machines to use NAT or host-only networking.

Note: Support for bridged networking does not guarantee that the virtual machine can successfully receive an IP address. IP addressing depends on the DHCP server. For more information about the networking types, see Understanding networking types in hosted products (1006480).

This table provides more information about reconfiguring network settings for your virtual machine:
