In VMware set the network to NAT for the Windows VM... that will likely work.

I don't normally use bridged but I'm sure it has to do with not setting the IP addresses correctly so that your router, or what have you, can correctly connect to the Internet. Notice there are several ports working with vmware for multiple addresses.
I think the vmware manual tells all.
