If you have multiple lan adapters on your host, it should have asked you
to run Bridged and Nat setup for each adapter when you
ran ./vmware-config.pl. I suggest try running that again and select
bridged network for each adapter. Also set up a host only network for
access to your host files
In order, it should ask you to setup a bridged, NAT, and Host only
network
If you've done that you can add network adapters to your VM by adding
them in the configuration of the VM
On my laptop VMNET0 is Bridged to my Network Lan card
and VMNET8 is a host only network

You can also set up shared folder on you VM. Before your start up the
VM edit the Vm's settings and select the Options tab, and enter the host
directories you wish to share. Then in the VM, Go to Network
Neighborhood and you should see you host with all the shared
directories.
