Access NAT and Network configuration tool in VmWare Player

The NAT and Network configuration tool available for Windows users in VmWare Workstation used to be available for VmWare Player users too but since release 6, it's become a little harder to get.

All you need are two files: vmnetcfg.exe and vmnetcfglib.dll. You can find them both in a typical Workstation installer (the free trial version too), by running this command against the installer:

VMWare-worksation-INSTALLER_NAME.exe /e .\unpack

now just browse to the newly created unpack folder and rename _vmnetcfglib.dll without the leading underscore, then copy both in your Player installation directory.
