    VMware - internet connection?

    I've created a VMware XP image on my pc and I want that image to be able to access the broadband from my pc - how do I do that?
    I do not have a router just the supplied modem from Virgin.

    you probably need to set the vmnetworking for the guest to be NAT'd out via the host
