I have a System76 Lemur Ultra Thin (lemu4) notebook PC running Ubuntu 12.10 64 bit with Linux kernel 3.5.0-26 generic and I installed VM Ware Workstation 9.0.2 64 bit for GNU/Linux. The installation completed successfully except for one significant problem: the virtual ethernet failed. Consequently, my Microsoft Windows 8 Pro 64 bit guest virtual machine can not connect to the Internet. I tried switching to Bridged, NAT, etc. with no luck. I tried to use the Virtual Network Editor, but it says that I am missing configuration information in my /etc/vmware/networks directory which does not exist on my Ubuntu 12.10 64 bit.
What is causing this problem?
What more information and data do you need to help me?
How do I solve this problem for good?
Please help if you can soon. Thank you.
