@Sourav.....Ofcors u can connect to the NEt from VMWARE and do whateva u want.
I've been using VMWARE since it was initially released! Most people here cant stick to a single Linux distro and keep changing their distro for phun, just to see the distro. I do that on Virtual PC.
All you need to do is enable the services that get installed when u install VMWARE.
Just check in services.msc and enable all the VMWARE services like NAt service etc (their name start with V mostly). Neways these services are enabled in automatic mode when u install VMWARE. So I guess all u need to do is just start Vmware. I have disabled these services on startup coz they eat memory and enable them whenever I want to use Vmware!
