    Network in Redhat Linux using VMWare Player

    This is probably a really stupid question. But... how do you connect to the internet in this situation?

    I run Windows XP
    Inside Windows XP, I installed VMWare Player
    I run VMWare Player, and inside that program, I run Red Hat Linux.
    The Red Hat Linux is pre-installed (I downloaded the VM image off the redhat website)
    I login into Red Hat Linux and I ran Firefox inside Red Hat.
    It seems like I can't connect to the internet from there.
    So... What should I do now...

    Thank you very much.

    I've run VMWare and what I know about it is this: Unless the hosting OS is configured to sucessfully run a piece of hardware, VMWare will not be able to run it either. Whetner or not that helps you, I don't know...

    I can go online on the host OS.
    And as far as I know, the VMware Bridge Protocol is installed and functioning properly.

    Don't know. Have you contacted VMWare support? They are pretty good about helping.
