How do I connect to the internet using VMWare? I have looked at the vmware website and it explains networking to so degree, but I would like a step by step instruction guide to setting up a connection to the web using VMWare.

When you installed VMWare, there is an option for it to install "network bridging" and that is what you need to get this to work. The bridging will link the network card in the VMWare session and the physical network card in your machine that is running VMWare.
So, did you allow the networked bridging to be installed in the first place?
I've used VMWare on Windows machines (Win2K and XP) and have ran Windows, Solaris, and Suse Linux in the VMWare shell, and all versions have had Internet access. So I know it works.
