Installing new software in VMWare, internet connectivity?

Hi there,
This evening I downloaded a copy of the Haiku OS image for VMWare, which boots nicely, and runs brilliantly. However, I'm unable after much tinkering to access t'internet, I've tried putting the Ethernet option in VMWare as Bridged and NAT, and have received no joy. In both configurations, DHCP picks up an address, but it's useless, and I get no DNS.

Does anybody know how I might go about setting up a proper internet connection within VMWare, so I can then install a web browser etc?

Oh, and by the way - the laptop is connected to my wireless LAN, and NAT Mode has worked in other virtual OSes I've used today. This is specifically a Haiku issue.

Oh, and even more by the way - Haiku looks a hell of a lot better than I was anticipating, nice one! :)

Regards, Matt Stevenson.
