[Player 3.0] VMware Player Network Config

To configure network you need the "Virtual Network Editor" Tool. It IS integrated within the Installer - but isn't unpacked (sadly). To get the vmnetcfg.exe you need to do following: Launch the installer with /e parameter: VMware-player-3.0.0-197124.exe /e .\extract. With this command, the complete install gets "unzipped" into the "extract" folder. Within this folder you will find the network.cab. And in this file, you find the vmnetcfg.exe. Copy it to the Program Files\VMware\VMware Player Folder.  Run the Program as Administrator.

And to add multiple bridged interfaces, do configure an interface in the VMware File vmx with following:

ethernet0.present = "TRUE"
ethernet0.virtualDev = "vmxnet"
ethernet0.startConnected = "TRUE"
ethernet0.connectionType = "custom"
ethernet0.vnet = "/dev/vmnet0"
