Host:
Windows Server 2008 / VMWare Server 2
Has Internet connection
ip: 172.17.62.1 (NAT adapter)
no gateway, no dns

Guest:

All firewalls are down, I can ping hosts, but no telnet connection – telnet google.com 80

Workaround with proxy server installed on host.
All guests can access to internet
I don't know why vmware server cannot share internet in this configuration
