How to make your Mac OS X x86 network works with VMWare Workstation???
After Mac OS X has been installed on VMWare Workstation, you will found that the network is not working or the network card it’s not recognize by Mac OS X. You can get the network driver here and follow the instruction below.
Select the ISO file you have downloaded as your CDROM drive
Create a new folder on Desktop(for example network), copy the files from the “CDROM” into the new folder.
Open up the terminal, navigate the to driver folder, run install.sh file and reboot
After reboot, I _think_ your network is working now.(bridge,nat or host also work). Hope it helps. For more information and support please visit the driver’s website

Thank you! …. I’m up and running with VMWare 7 and OSX 10.4…. One note… It did not “activate” my network until I went into system preferences -> network….. A dialog popped up telling me it detected a new network interface and to check the settings….. I changed nothing… Clicked apply, and everything started working…. Just an FYI for any other mac illiterates out there.
Eternal peace & love

Hello,
for me this is not helping.
i use VM Ware Server 1.0.10
can this be caused of that i do not use WorkStation but Server?
Installed it in OSX 10.6.
After installing the .sh file didn’t restart the VM.
Changed the network settings of VM and it worked instantly.
ENV:
VMWARE version 7
Win 7 64 bit
