Hi Chris,

I may be wrong since I'm not super knowledgeable about networks, but
the vmnet address doesn't appear to be right.  It should be a private
address if it's providing your virtual machine with a NAT interface to
the outside world.  I believe your VMNET address should be in the
192.168 range since that's a private address.  Just make sure you pick
a subnet different from the subnet of your main NIC.

Here's what mine looks like.  I have two VMNET interfaces, one Bridged
and one HostOnly.  Don't worry about that part.  What's important is
that if you want to NAT your VM, it should be contained in a private
subnet different from the subnet of your main NIC.  My real ethernet
is on 192.168.1.*.  My VM network interfaces are in 192.168.253.* and
192.168.254.*.
