First of all, if I remember correct, VMWare does not support bridging to
a wireless ethernet adaptor, so you will need to select (from the
properties of the virtual machine) that you want NAT. Second, check
which devices you have installed to your VM (again from the properties
of the VM) -> Do you have a network adaptor? If no, install one.
