What do you mean by that? The IP for the NIC?

The VMPlayer is not capable of changing any settings of the VMware
image, but the commercial version allows you that. I am pretty sure
you can get an evaluation version.

I haven't tried our VMWare image, but my guess would be that it is set
up to use bridging per default. The interesting question now is if the
Sage notebook works if the VMWare image would use NAT also for
VMNet1. I need to download the image and try it I guess.

My guess would be to use NAT or to fiddle with the build in dhcp
server of VMPlayer in case that is possible. The second solution is
certainly not enjoyable.
