What version of VMware are you using, older versions had issues with some

4.5.something, will have to check. Host is Windows.
I am surprised that network failed as VMware uses really generic (and very common) virtual network adapters.
I usually find I have to install the VMWare tools to get the network up and running. I have been experimenting with SME Server (www.contribs.org) in a VM and that has no network until I install the tools.
Maybe the basic card they emulate is now so old that many distros have dropped it? Seems unlikely, I'm sure many developers use VMWare for testing.
I'll try another installation of Ubuntu when I get the chance.
