Why i cannot be able to use internet? What's wrong with my network settings?
I have Windows with vmware version 7 installed. I installed centos 6.2 on vmware. I want to install and configure dhcp server on centos and also want that centos is connected to the internet for this purpose i have configured two NIC card on this server. One of them is configured with manual ip that eth0 and i configured this interface as custom:vmnet0 in network settings in vmware. Second interface that in eth1 is configured as NAT in vmware network settings. My problem is i try to ping any host that is ping google.com or ping hotmail.com no result will display or even i cannot browse internet. What is wrong with my network settings? please help.

Please change the vmware network setting to Bridged network in place of NAT. Previously also we got same issue when we changed to Bridged Network it's working fine.
