[Cialug] Vmware player 2.5 using NAT

[Tony Bibbs]

I can't seem to get this working with Ubuntu as the host to an XP VM.  2.5
introduces a graphical installer to vmware-player which is really annoying.
When I start my VM I get errors about not being able to open /dev/vmnet8.

Anyway, vmware-config.pl doesn't exist with 2.5 so I'm clueless. My
/var/log/vnetlib has a bunch of this:

VNLNetCfgGetAnswerInt32 - Value not found or failed to convert value to
integer: null
VNL_Load - LOG_ERR logged
VNL_Load - LOG_WRN logged
