browser based network authentication not visible to guest OS

I have a networking problem with VMware Fusion 7 and a Windows XP guest.

 

When joining a wireless network which has no WEP/WPA authentication -- it looks like an open connection but requires a browser-based user name and password login (you see this sort of setup in restaurants and coffee houses) -- the assigned IP address is not picked up by the Windows XP virtual machine. The host OS knows that it's online (full connectivity), but the guest thinks there's no network connection.

 

Is this a bug due to the peculiarity of the host's network authentication or am I missing something?

 

Has anyone experienced this issue? Anybody have any suggestions?
