I don't remember where I read it, but apparently you can't bridge a connection if you're on wireless (like I am). Something to do with the wireless specifications saying you can't send signals from the same wireless card using a different MAC (but you can with regular wired cards).

Short: Linux method does not work if you use wireless.

Long: The linux method requires VMWare sending/receiving packets through your NIC with a different MAC address. Unfortunately, the wireless specification (due to security issues) does not allow this, and so you need to pull a physical LAN cable from your PC to your router for it to work.

Haha well if you're interested in getting deeper into things, you can try these and see if they're any help.

My knowledge with Linux is way too limited to even consider trying to work it out.
