networking - 14.04 no internet connection when I up the bridge interface (for LXC container)

I have VM Ubuntu 14.04 32bit running in VMware Workstation on Win 10.

I'm trying to set up the LXC container having its own IP address so I set the bridge interface in /etc/network/interfaces (tried static and dhcp):

 # interfaces(5) file used by ifup(8) and ifdown(8)
 auto lo
 iface lo inet loopback
 auto br0
 iface br0 inet dhcp
        bridge_ports eth0
        bridge_fd 0
        bridge_maxwait 0

But then I reboot it and have no internet on my host mashine Ubuntu.

--- 8.8.8.8 ping statistics ---
3 packets transmitted, 0 received, +3 errors, 100% packet loss, time 1999ms
pipe 3

But it can connect to the router and I can ssh it from my main OS (win 10)

my host ifconfig:

I read all the similar posts but did not help. Any thoughts?
