Welcome to LinuxQuestions.

VMware uses a virtual network adapter that 'connects' to the host's physical adapter. It depends on how you configured the virtual machine, I don't use VMware but I believe the preferred adapter is the vmxnet3 adapter. If you are using a NAT network and leave CentOS using DHCP then all you should need to enter is whatever hostname/FQDN you want to use for your virtual machine.

Can you ping anything by IP address? Google's DNS
ping 8.8.8.8
