I have installed Ubuntu 10.04 (64 bit desktop version) on VMWare player over Windows 7 host (64 bit). I am unable to access network. apt-get fails and I am unable to browse the internet. I tried re-installing VMWare tools..it didn't help. I am new to Virtualization and networking. Can someone please help me out?

Output of ifconfig from inside Ubuntu:

Is the guest obtaining an IP? While inside debian type ifconfig and post the output. – Tim Jan 3 at 16:23
are you behind a proxy ? do you use nat or bridged networking on you virtual machine ? – m0ntassar Jan 3 at 18:04
@Tim updating the question with ifconfig I got from inside Ubuntu: – Aadith Jan 6 at 8:21
@m0ntassar i tried both bridged and nat..neither worked – Aadith Jan 6 at 8:24
@Aadith when you switch to bridged you may have to configure the network manually if there is not a DHCP server on your "real" network that the host is attached to. After switching to bridged mode and rebooting what is the output of ifconfig? – Tim Jan 6 at 13:34
