Guest OS using NAT and host wireless can ping Google but can't surf the net

Hi all.

I just installed 'Vmware Workstation ACE Edition' Version: 6.0.0 build-45731

I then installed a new virtual machine Windows XP SP2 home edition.

My host is a business of W7, browse the internet using a wireless network card. (I currently don't have a way to have the physical NIC connected to it).

My conf wireless host is:

LAN wireless adapter wireless network connection:

The connection-specific DNS suffix. :

... Description: Connection network Intel (r) PRO / Wireless 3945ABG

DHCP active...: Yes

Autoconfiguration enabled...: Yes

IPv4 address: 192.168.1.33 (Preferred)

... Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0.

Lease obtained...: Thursday, December 2, 2010 10:50

Lease expires...: Sunday, December 5, 2010 10:49:59

... Default gateway. : 192.168.1.1.

DHCP server...: 192.168.1.1.

DNS servers...: 192.168.1.1.

NetBIOS over TCP/IP...: enabled

The goal is simple: be able to surf the web with my guest OS (Windows XP Home edition).

I first tried to bridge with VMnet0 = > KO (no ping, no navigation)

I then tried NAT which is by default bound to VMnet08 = > always KO but:

-I can ping google.com:

Ping google.com http://173.194.36.104 with 32 bytes of data:

Reply from 173.194.36.104: bytes = 32 time = 765ms TTL = 128

-I can not always surfing the net

When you activate NAT on the guest operating system the ipconfig gives the following:

Ethernet connection to the Local network card:

The connection-specific DNS suffix. : localdomain

... The IP address: 192.168.31.128

... Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0.

... Default gateway. : 192.168.31.2.

I do not have an anti virus installed on the client

I tried to disable windows firewall with no luck

I tried telnet google.com port 80 = > KO

C:\ > telnet google.com 80

Login to google.com... Could not open connection to the host, on port 80: Co

nnect failed

Any help, tracks, ideas, would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Just an info, Windows 7 is not a host VMware Ace/Workstation 6 operating system.  Also why do you install 6.0.0 vs install 6.0.5?

Have you tried to manually set DNS servers to no known public IP address just leave it to the private IP address that you have shown by default?

Give a try:

OpenDNS

208.67.222.222

208.67.220.220

Or

Google Public DNS

8.8.8.8

8.8.4.4
