VMWorkstation 8 and Internet troubles

As I installed VMWorkstation 8 to test the site in IE 8 (I am running IE 9 on my box). After installation, I noticed that my virtual machine has no connection to the Internet. After searching the web for the possible solution, I finally got it. By default, when you install VMWorkstation (or VMPlayer for that matter), Network Adapter is set into 'NAT' mode - used to share the host's IP address. Correct setting for my scenario is to switch it to 'BRIDGED' - done, and I have internet access.
