Hi there,
I had this same issue using VMware Player 12.5.9, and kernel 4.13.0-26-generic on Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS, and I was just able to resolve it using the posts from the thread link below:
Linux Host: Kernel 4.13-rc1 Breaks vmnet..
Specifically, a patch from dariusd and applying the steps outlined by neogeek83
I've summarized it below for you:
Link to dariusd patch: https://communities.vmware.com/servlet/JiveServlet/download/2688951-180357/VMware-Workstation-12.5.7...
neogeek83 steps
cd /usr/lib/vmware/modules/source
sudo tar xf vmnet.tar
sudo vim vmnet-only/bridge.c #Make the edit described in the patch given above. @darlusd
sudo mv vmnet.tar vmnet.tar.bak #backups are good...
sudo tar cf vmnet.tar vmnet-only/
#at this point I restarted vmware and let it rebuild the vmnet drivers, which worked with the above change in place.
sudo rm vmnet-only/ -fr

Hi,
I have installed VMware-Player-14.1.1-7528167.x86_64.bundle instead of 12.5.9 and have no issues now.
Greetings,
Marcin
