VMWare Player 5.0 bridged network doesn't work

$

I have a laptop with WIndows 7, and connect wireless to the business network. On my host the wireless connection is working fine.

I use VMWare Player 5.0 and have setup a virtual machine with Windows 7, and have set the network adapter to 'bridged' because I would like the virtual machine to be recognized as a separate machine so that I can access all network resources easily.

 

However, it doesn't work: I don't have any internet and network connectivity in the virtual machine.

 

I have no idea how to fix this... can someone suggest what I can do to make it work? I already looked for solution, like extracting the Virtual Network Editor from the cab file, but it seems it is not there anymore in version 5... Is it trying to use my wired connection or something, instead of wireless?

 

(PS - if I use NAT I have internet connection, but I have difficulties in accessing network resources)

 

Thanks!

 

EDIT - maybe this is useful - if I go to adapters on the host machine, I see VMNet1 which displays 'Identifying' all the time.
