My guess is that your network card is configured for the vmware
"vmxnet" adapter (rather than the pcnet32-compatible) in the .vmx
file. This requires a vmware-supplied driver, usually installed by
installing vmware-tools in the guest OS. I'm not sure how you do that
with player. You could try temporarily installing/configuring
vmware-server, which would let you do this. Or you could try
something like [1].
Thanks, problem anyway solved quite trivially: I had to switch the type
of network card to "vlance" instead of "e1000" (I knew about the
vmxnet). Problem is I didn't find mention of the fact vlance was
preferred by windows (while a Linux guest worked well with e1000...)
Sorry for the inconvenience!
