I have one guest VM(windows 7) running on VMWare in the MAC OSX host. When I use "NAT" mode, the guest VM has no problem getting IP etc. to connect to internet. However, when I change to use "bridge" mode, the guest OS can't connect to internet. How to fix this?

One way to fix this issue is to set up a specific virtual network that you know is working. Wmware is bridging to the wrong adapter – If you leave the Bridging settings to Automatic, this issue will occur if VMnet0 ends up Bridging to a network adapter that is not currently maintaining your internet connection.
With bridged networking, the VM is accessible from the network. "NAT" on the other hand shares the hosts network connection by assigning the VMs an IP address from a private network, and translates network requests from the guest. This way the host appears as a single system to the network.
Most commonly used. A VM has one primary IP address per network adapter. The primary IP address is assigned to the VM by the automatic or manual network it's attached to. Use the primary IP to access the VM from other machines connected to the same network.
I had the same issue with VMWare Workstation 11. It apparently started happening AFTER I upgraded to: 11.1.2 build-2780323 although it may have been the addition of a Juniper or Hamachi network client.
I had used "Bridged" for each VM but after the upgrade, I encountered connectivity problems. After I set the NIC to NAT, it started working.
Here is how I was able to resolve the issue and start using "Bridged" network adapter again:
Now, the "Bridged" setting should work or at least it did for me. Go back and change any that you had changed to NAT to get them working.

I had this problem. Seems after I had installed wireshark on my host, the bridge configure adapters had the npcap loopback adapter checked. When I unchecked that, it started working.
