... shows the two adapters for vmware as "unidentified network" with no internet access
That's how it's supposed to be. The Host-Only (vmnet1) and NAT adapter (vmnet8) do not have access respectively direct access to the Internet.
Do you have a firewall and/or endpoint protection software running on your host machine which may block traffic?
Please post the output for ipconfig /all from the command line of the host as well as the guest to see whether the network settings show up as expected.
