First of all open Mac OS and navigate to system preferences >> Network. Click ‘+’ button to add new network setting. Now add the values of ip address, subnet mask, router and dns server and save it. (The values of the below screenshot differs from you).
If you fail to get those values, then you can use linux to get those values because linux ubuntu gathers these above values during automatic network configuration. Either call your network service provider for getting those addresses for network configuration.
Now,open VMware and navigate to VM >> Removable Devices >> Network Adapter >> Setting and select NAT as network type so that this allows you to share host a computer’s ip address and then save and connect it. Now you can easily connect to internet from your Mac Os X mountain lion operating system.
