I have a copy of Ubuntu 10.04 [Desktop] LTS running inside a virtual machine using VMWare workstation on a Win 7 host sitting behind an ISA Server on a corparte network.
I am unable to connect to the outside world from this VM except through a web browser. I cant use apt-get, ruby gems (install off the network) or any other command line or GUI program.
So far I have tried setting up proxy on the network proxy page, /etc/bash.bashrc file using export http_proxy:{my proxy details}, in synaptics update manager, using cntlm and changing individual however none of these seem to work and give me an outside connection.
Now here is the kicker, on the same computer and network I have VirtualBox setup with a clean install of Ubuntu 10.04 and it connects to outside with no problems. Both VM's are set to use NAT.
The host has an ISA Client installed and allows Win 7 to operate correctly
Does anyone know why I can connect using VirtualBox but not VMWare workstation and how i can get VMWare to work on network.
Kind Regards Colin G
