The other way to get rid of the virtual networks is to just take them down manually using "ifconfig vmnet1 down" etc. This would allow you to test that getting rid of them is what you need to do.
vmware can do horrible things to your network access if it picks a subnet already in use for its NAT subnet (which is the default IIRC). During configuration it claims to be probing for unused subnets to usurp, but I've had occasions where I've lost access to portions of our network when those IP ranges were taken over by vmware. Bridged mode is much safer IMO. Dropping the network connections as Kerry suggests (you may need to also drop and bring up your "normal" network connection) should tell you if it's a problem with NATting. HTH, Roy.
