VMWare Workstation VM Will not Connect To The Internet or Host

I just installed VMWare Workstation 7.1.2 on a Win7 machine a but it will not connect to the Internet I saw it creates two VMWare Network Adaptors labeled VMNet1 & VMNet8 with 192.168.x.x network addresses. Any reason why it will not connect to the Internet on a default installation? It used to work flawlessly on XP in the past when I installed it.

• I changed the Networking on the guest to Bridged & that worked like a charm.
