vmware workstation - no internet

hello,

I have installed Vmware workstation on my computer.
I set the network to Nat but if I start my Virtual Gentoo I see a red cross on the network adapter.

What went wrong here ?

Did you do the step 'emerge --config vmware-workstation'?

Yes, I did.

Hrmmmm...I made an assumption that may not be correct here. Is this a Gentoo VM running on a Gentoo host? Or is this a Gentoo VM running in windows?

Hello,

It's a Gentoo Vm running on a Gentoo host.

Hello,

The netwerk card is now detected.
But if I want to go to internet I get a DNS error message.

I use the appliance of bagvapp.

Glad to hear that the card is detected. What did you do that made it work?

I have no idea what bagvapp is...if you don't use dhcp, then try putting a DNS entry in your resolv.conf.

Hello,

The restart did the trick.

I use DHCP on the host.
I will try a new fresh install
