http://askubuntu.com – After a lot of troubleshooting I am still unable to get Internet working on ubuntu 12.04 installed on my VMware Player. I tried commenting out dns=dnsmasq. ifconfig returns: eth0 and lo with the ipaddress and other information. I don't know what is wrong. Anyone could help me or any other commands or files I should change? (HowTos)
