I'm now using Windows7 Professional and VMWare Workstation 7.0. I have only one issue with this so far: Bridged Networking is not working; to be more exactly: the host does not let go out UDP traffic to priv ports <= 1023, for example UDP 53 for DNS; all other is working as expected, IP and UDP to ports > 1023; I tested this with netcat(1) tool. NAT'ed and Host Only networking is fine too. I have Google'd for this and I only see that I'm not alone with this, but as well not alone with no solution; for example here: http://communities.vmware.com/message/1454201 Ubuntu as guest has the same problem. A colleague claims that it works fine with SuSE as guest, will check this out with his VM on my host and VMWare installation. Any ideas?
