    So I installed W7 using BootCamp so I could boot up natively if I ever needed anything...
    However... I still havent figured out how to get the internet working on it...
    I've tried NAT, Bridged and Host only...

    I definitely think it's a Driver thing... does anybody know what drivers I need for my 2.4GHz Alu. Unibody MacBook under W7 in VMware?



    What I really really want to do is use the VMware Fusion>Preferences>Default Applications and use:

    -Open Mail (mailto) with: ***
    [I want to use Windows Live Mail because its offline and online and fully hotmail and just... perfect]

    -Open Web Pages (http, https) with: ***
    [I use Safari and Firefox alot but using Google Chrome would be nice, and... Quake Live on Internet Explorer Anyone? Heck Yeah!!! Your Welcome for this idea haha]


    PS: Reinstalled W7, updating it and then moving on to VMware again and HOPEFULLY itll work

    When I tried installing Vista under VMware in Ubuntu awhile back, I was not able to get the networking aspect to work either...I think it had to do something with VMware not supporting that just yet. However, that was like a year ago, it should be good to go now...?
