Im running WinXp and just recently installed VMware workstation v4 to emulate Linux Mandrake 9.1. It succesfully installed..
Situation:

My xp home edition is static on a linksys router it is my host computer..
Linux is running on Vmware as guest operation system..
Im not sure how to configure internet correctly on linux cause its not working.. What are the step needed for me to troubleshoot this matter..

Thanks, for anyone who can answer my question.

If I remember correctly, it is Vmware's job to configure that. I maybe wrong though. What do you get when you run 'ifconfig'?
