Having same problem as Marshal, I cannot figure out how to change from NAT to bridge. I have VMware Player 2.5.3 build-185404. Any help is appreciated, thanks.

After renaming the file to vmx I am not able to run chrome os.
Could not open virtual machine: E:\chrome-os-0.4.22.8-gdgt.vmdk\chrome-os-0.4.22.8.vmx

Can you please help me

@Max You're welcome, Max! It's interesting that both you and Marshal had the same problem with the network. I was trying it out on an already NATed network which might be why it worked for me.

Thanks man. I was frustrated to find out that I can’t run it in VMPlayer after downloading from gdgt (even though they mention you can). Had the same proplem as Marshal, above , and after applying his tips I got it up and running. Thanks again.
