Dotan,

I currently run Kubuntu and several other operating systems in VMWare and
hopefully can answer your questions.

First of all you have Kubuntu as the host OS and Windows as the guest?  You
need to enable either bridging or tunneling to get your guests to connect to
the internet.

Are you using VMPlayer or VMWorkstation?  I don't know if it matters or not,
but in VMWorkstation which ever has the focus of the mouse will use the USB
drive and CD.  Make sure for the CD rom that you don't have it setup to run
as a mounted .iso which it was probably run as to install.

Hope that helps

Can I ask VMWare questions here? I installed via the instructions at:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VMWarePlayerAndWindowsHOWTO

If so, then I have three questions:
1) How do I connect the Windows installation in VMWare to the internet?
2) How do I connect USB devices to Windows?
3) How do I read from CD in VMWare?

Thanks.
