The interface configured is probably for host-only networking,
set to access you local linux filesystem. You can change the
config for this interface to be bridged in the Configuration
editor and that will allow you to access the outside networks.
You could also reconfigure VMware to have two virtual interfaces,
one for host-only and one for bridged. You would need to rerun
the vmware-config.pl script to create this.
