Hello, I have followed the instructions, rebooted both systems and now I cannot see the VMware adapters in the Network and Sharing center, only in the Network Connections, so I think that the registry edit was successful. However, I still cannot connect to Oracle from the Ubuntu Virtual Machine to the Win 7. When I disable the Windows firewall, it works. I am desperate, so if you have any ideas, please submit them here.

Great, thank you so much. It works for Oracle VM VirtualBox with Windows 7 as well!

Still an issue with latest Windows 7 and VMWare Workstation, fix still works. Guest OS had Internet okay before the fix, mostly a cosmetic thing. In case anyone cares, the MSDN content has moved here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff557037(VS.85).aspx

I also have similar problem with VirtualBox 3.1.2-5612 and this trick also works.

I forgot to mention that this “*NdisDeviceType =1″ tip works in my installation of Windows 7 Enterprise 64-bit edition as well.

Thank you very much. I have been searching for this for almost 6 months! I really wonder why VMware has not fixed this issue in its recent releases.

Thanks for the solution. I had this problem on Vista and Windows 7 and somehow (maybe because of an update) the problem returned on Windows 7. And again a quick fix.
