Linux Mint (8, codename Helena) in VMware Workstation 6.0.0 no network

Despite installing vmware-tools; network manager just doesn't want to activate eth0.

The Virtual Machine Setting for Network Connection is set to "Bridged"

In Linux Mint open a Terminal:
# ifconfig eth0 _any-IP-in-the-network_ netmask 255.255.255.0
# route add default gw _IP-of-Router_ eth0

create /etc/resolv.conf and add nameserver:
# vi /etc/resolv.conf

search example.com
nameserver _IP_
nameserver _IP_


# ifup eth0

network and online connection is working
