The GUI isn't included with Player right now (not sure if that was intentional or not.) To work around you can try doing this.

Edit /etc/vmware/networking as root. Add an entry like "add_bridge_mapping eth0 0" where eth0 is the one you want. You may have to add a "add_bridge_mapping eth1 -1" to disable eth1, I'm not sure. Then you'll probably have to do a vmware-networks --stop and vmware-networks --start.
