Problem connecting to VMWare Fusion for Mac as a host server

I'm running Windows 2003 server on VMWare Fusion for the Mac. Windows has IIS installed along with ColdFusion 8. When I try to ping the server via IP address, I get the error message "the network is down".

 

What was most puzzling was that I could reach the internet from a browser running inside VMWare.

 

To fix the problem. Open up Terminal application on your Mac.

 

sudo /sbin/ifconfig vmnet8 up
