Networking is broken in my VMware 10.0 VMs after upgrading to Windows 8.1

Had the same problem with workstation 8.0.6. I only stopped all running vm's, gone to Home-Tab, selected Virtual Network Editor and did a "Restore Default". That was all. Then when i started the vm again, i got a window asking for the new network type (home network, working place or public network) and after defining my type all worked again as before.

Run the VMware 10.0 installer again, and select Repair on the first screen. After it finishes the repair process, run the Virtual Network Editor and check your network settings. If you had customized any of the IP addresses on your virtual networks, you may need to redo those settings. If you had any additional custom networks, you may need to re-enter them from scratch.

If you have a complex virtual networking setup, it may be a good idea to take a screenshot or make some notes before upgrading to Windows 8.1.
