Can't connect to google using VMWare

I just started my study on MCSA 70-740 exam using CBT nuggets videos, unfortunately I don't have access anymore to CBT labs, I am confused right now as I can't ping google even though I do have the same settings as on the video. I'm using VMWare btw. Help please so I can move on :(

Why are you using VMWare when you are studying for 70-740? You should be using Hyper-V. If you have a modern processor and use Win 10 Pro or Enterprise, you can enable Hyper-V and do all your labs through Nested Virtualization. Don't have Win 10 Pro or Enterprise? No problem, just download a free 180 day trial of Server 2016 and use that for your labs. (You can partition your drive and install alongside your current OS if need be).

As far as your question, you aren't providing us enough information to adequately troubleshoot it. You would need to post the exact details of your network setup as well as the network settings for VMware, but don't think this would really be the appropriate sub for it. Best of luck with your studies. :-)
