Sometimes using virtual machines, it's no the OS causing problems with the network adapter, but the actual vm program, what are you using?

have you tried playing with bridging etc?

I assume your host OS is connecting to the internet OK, if that won't, then your VM one won't.

As for connecting Puppy to the internet, the wizard is pretty good IMHO, click on the eth0 discover usually works, at least for wired anyway.

it's a bit late tonight, but i'll try tomorrow, I use virtualbox, as you can run a vm off an ISO, but if you're using vmware the settings are fairly similar.
