If that’s the case, follow these steps.
1. Go to Windows 7 Guest OS VMWare directory on your file system, and open the .vmx file in a notepad.
2. Add the following line to the end of the file and save it.
ethernet0.virtualDev = “e1000″.
3. Restart the Windows 7 Guest Operating system.

Windows 7 will recognize the network adapter and you should be able to connect to the internet.

Quite handy when your taskbar is cluttered with too many open application windows.
Just create a shortcut to CloseAll and place it in StartMenu, QuickLaunch or any other area that’s easily accessible. And a single click is all it takes!
Neat!
