Bridged connection problem

I am running Player 5.0 on Windows 7.  The guest VM is WinXP.

When I use Bridged for the VM network connection, the VM cannot get the IP address from DHCP. (NAT works fine).

If I copy the same VM to another VMWare Player on a different physical machine (which uses the same wireless router), that same VM can now get the IP address from DHCP correctly.

So it looks like the problem is with one of my Player installations.

Any idea of where to look to fix this problem?

Thank you,

Ugo
