Win7 firewall + Workstation 9 NAT, is a How-to available?

I have just installed Workstation 9 on Win 7 Pro SP1.  NAT is not working for the first Linux guest (Ubuntu 12.04).  From a quick search, it seems there is an issue with vmnat and the Windows firewall.

I have found discussion on the problem, but nothing along the lines of a how-to.  Most of the discussion seems to be about adding rules to the windows firewall, where the posters seem to already have some experience.  I am not a Windows firewall expert, and really do not want to become one.

So my question: is there a how-to or similarly straight-forward documentation on what needs to be done to allow NAT to work?

I have disabled the firewall on the vmnet side, but the public-facing network connection needs to keep the firewall.  I haven't tried another guest OS, yet.

Thanks!
