I have referred your problem and I would like to tell you that you should first provide more information about your computer setup. You have to first check all the setting related to the internet is proper in your system because many times wrong setting can also cause this type of problem.

According to me you can solve this problem by changing the VM player network configuration to NAT and after that you will get internet connection access. You have to first set network configuration to NAT and after that you have to go to the run and then first release the IP address and after that renew IP address. Now you have to check whether it makes any difference or not. Many times by trying this solution your problem can get solved.

Well in my system I have windows 7 operating system and I have VMware installed in which I have windows XP VM. I have eScan Internet Security Suite installed in my computer. I have tried to solve this problem by changing the VMware configuration to NAT but that does not help to solve this problem.

Now please tell me what should I do to solve this problem?

Have to try to solve this problem by running the network trouble shooter from windows 7? If you have not tried network trouble shooter then I will suggest you to run Network trouble shooter and then you have to see whether it resolves the problem or not? I am telling you this solution because I was also experiencing the same problem and then I have run network trouble shooter in my computer and it has resolved all the problem.

I think you should also try this solution and then check whether it makes any difference or not.
