VMware Player has connection but no network access
Strange things can happen when having multiple ethernet adapters (including vpn connections)
on the host system where you have installed and use VMware Player or VMware Server. If such adapters are not set as deactivated, all of the could be the one, which VMware chooses for bridging
the network traffic. Most time, VMware is able to manage that correctly, but there are some circumstances,
in which you should go for sure.

To do that goto:
1. Start -> Settings -> Network Connections
2. Right click on one of the connections, you don’t want a VMachine to be bridged to. Then select “Properties”.
3. Disable the service called “VMware Bridge Protocol” in the list by unchecking it.
4. Repeat step two and three for other connections, which should be ignored by VMware.
If you are using VMware server, you can do this also over the GUI application called “Manage Virtual Networks”.
