How do I get rid of the VMware "Unidentified Networks" in Windows Vista and 7?

Per this site:

1. Click Start, click Run, type regedit, and then click OK.
2. Click the follwoing subkey:

HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class{4D36E972-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}

3. Browse through the 00xx subkeys until you find the REG_SZ VMNet subkey with a value of either “\DosDevices\VMnet8” or “\DosDevices\VMnet1” (default values)
4. On the Edit menu, point to New, and then click DWORD Value.
5. Type *NdisDeviceType, and then press Enter.
6. On the Edit menu, click Modify.
7. Type 1, and then click OK.
8. Exit Registry Editor. 9 Disable & re-enable the VMWare NICs
9. Log-out of your Windows account and log back in.
10. Done

Or, optionally, use this powershell script to do the same thing automatically. This is most useful in Windows 7 which has PowerShell built in.

Go to the Windows Firewall properties and disable the firewall for the VMWare adapter.
