I installed VMware workstation (9.0) on my Windows 7 PC, and installed Ubuntu 12.04. I got everything else working except that I cannot seem to get networking going in the ubuntu box. In the VMware settings, I tried both NAT and Bridged connections (with "Replicate physical networking connection state" and without it).

My Windows PC's ifconfig looks like this:

Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection 3:

   Connection-specific DNS Suffix  . : something.net
   Link-local IPv6 Address . . . . . : fe80::7598:cf46:98b:5b

   Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0
   Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . :

And the ifconfig (linux) looks like this:

eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:0c:29:b6:6a:8d  
          inet6 addr: fe80::20c:29ff:feb6:6a8d/64 Scope:Link

          collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 
          RX bytes:23884 (23.8 KB)  TX bytes:23884 (23.8 KB)

My /etc/network/interfaces file looks like this:

auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

Interface eth0 is not configured in Ubuntu.

Did you install Ubuntu Server or Ubuntu Desktop?

If Ubuntu Server then /etc/network/interfaces should include the following stanza.

auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp

After adding this, run sudo ifup eth0.

If Ubuntu Desktop then use "network-indicator | Edit Connections..." to configure a Wired Connection.
