Actually, I am using the QEM/KVM virt-manager programs for Windows 10 
and an very happy with them. However, right now I'm hung up on accessing 
the host and the internet from the Windows guest. I was hoping to get 
som insight from VMWare as to a solution.

My major problem is, because of the problem with VMWare Player, I can.t 
use Synaptic or apt to update and upgrade Bookworm.
