I'm against using pirated software, so when it is possible trying to use free and open source products. That's why I installed VMware Player 4 several days ago.
It was planned to setup Linux server to gain some specific experience. First problem that appeared on my way was virtual machine network setup. NAT network access works OK, but bridged networking became pain. It took me about 2 hours to find a solution for the problem, actually everything is simple :)
When virtual machine starts (with bridged networking) it sticks to some automatically selected real network adapter and tries to operate through it. I'm using WiFi, also I have gigabit network adapter which I'm not using; VMware player tried to operate wired network and failed.
You can disable all unneeded network adapters and reboot VM, but it's good as temporary and fast solution. Good solution requires some time and effort. We need to unpack virtual network configuration tool from VMware distro.
First, unpack setup package with command
VMware-player-4.0.3-703057.exe /e ./tmp/
Then, unpack ./tmp/network.cab archive, most valuable stuff there is vmnetcfg.exe - drop this exe to player installation dir. In my case it was C:\Program Files (x86)\VMware\VMware Player.
Launch C:\Program Files (x86)\VMware\VMware Player\vmnetcfg.exe

Select bridged virtual network adapter (in my case it is VMnet0), select right real network adapter in a middle part of form (in my case it is Intel(R) WiFi Link 1000BGN). Hit OK. Now it should work well.
Njoy =)
UPD:
Just uninstalled Oracle VirtualBox and my VMnet0 disappeared from the networks list. I had to return it back. Click 'Add Network' button, select VMnet0, then do bridged networking setup.
