Sharing internet from Mac to Windows in VMware

Question

I am using Macbook pro and installed VMware with Windows 7. I want to share my internet connection from 3G dongle with Windows.I am having Network adaptor settings to NAT. But its showing ! symbol in the network status icon of task bar.

I tried diagnosing problem. But i am not able to troubleshoot the problem.

3G dongle internet was working fine in my old laptop with sharing internet with vmware. I have recently changed my laptop. During that time, I have copied image of vmware from old laptop.

Could this be an issue?

Answer 1

One method you could try, is instead of using 'NAT' as the Network Interface, use a 'Host-only' adapter. And then in network settings, bridge the 'VMware Host Only' adapter and your '3G' adapter.
