For those of you using VMware Player 4 on linux hosts, if you’re not happy with the autobridging for the vmnet0 network, you can choose a specific network adapter to bridge to using vmware-netcfg.
vmware-netcfg is located in /usr/lib/vmware/bin, so you can run it from there. This tip was found at http://communities.vmware.com/thread/270128
