1) "ifconfig" what does it say?
2) Have you installed the vmware tools?

Might you share the link for the VMWARE in Ubuntu? Thanx.

Paris, From the post (as well as what I have done) is that the user created an installation (probably using the free VMWare server on a different platform, and then decided to run "player" on the Linux install). However, you could use VMWare's image link... http://vmware.com/appliances/directory/1224
