8.1 for Windows and VMware Player 6.0.1 build-1379776 "without Internet access.

After updating my system Windows 8 Pro 8.1 two VMware (VMnet1 and VMnet8) network adapters are listed as 'Unidentified network, Public network' ' type of access: no access to Internet. I uninstalled VMware Player, reinstalled, and done a repair without change installation.  The result is when I run one of my Windows VMs they cannot connect to my network or host computer.  For example, in a Windows 7 VM "Network and sharing Center" the active network is displayed in the Public network and it is not stressed so I can't change it to private and enable sharing.

I have also noticed that several articles about 8.1 and this kind of problem you suggest use modern PC Interface settings to change the network card for this problem, but which lists only map host of the PC, not the VMware adapters network. It of as if 8.1 does not recognize or even allow control of VMware cards - at least not when using the network settings of the modern graphical user interface.

Halp!

DOH!  Why didn't think of this?

I had previously uninstalled and then reinstalled the latest version of VMware Player and yet still had the network problem. What fixed it was to re-run the installer of the player and select Repair. Who sets the network problem. Why didn't the new installed work? I guess he needs a couple of installs to do things.
