Could not connect Ethernet0 to virtual network --- VMnet0 is missing

VMware Player 5.0.1 build-894247 is installed. In the virtual machine an internet connection is not provided.

Host and guest OSs: Windows 7

Log:

VNET: MACVNetPort_Connect: Ethernet0: can't open vmnet device (2)

Could not connect Ethernet0 to virtual network "VMnet8". More

[msg.device.startdisconnected] Virtual device Ethernet0 will start disconnected.

vnetlib -- uninstall bridge, reboot and installing was done, but it had no effect.

vmnetbridge.dll in %systemroot%\system32 and vmnetbridge.sys in %systemroot%\system32\drivers are existing.

How to resolve this?

EDIT: VMware Player 6 was installed. Now VMnet1 & 8 are existing, but VMnet0 is missing. The virtual network editor doesn't work anymore. Do you have any hint how to add VMnet0?

Solution 1:

I had this issue but in Linux, and I fixed it by this command in terminal:

sudo systemctl start vmware-networks.service

Solution 2:

Use "Restore Defaults" in the Virtual Network Editor
