network adapter broken in Vsphere

the network icon has a cross on it showing its broken. If i add a network its asking me for options , can you please tell me how to fill it ?

Iam using VSsphere to connect to the VMware server 5.5.

few questions : 

- should i be using VLAN or WIRED mode?

- should i be filling in the MAC address ?

- should i be filling the ROUTES section ?

the issue is I cant ping to the local gateway .. i get host unreachable.

[admin@dotstollhadoop1 ~]$ ping 10.100.105.1

PING 10.100.105.1 (10.100.105.1) 56(84) bytes of data.

From 10.100.105.11 icmp_seq=2 Destination Host Unreachable

From 10.100.105.11 icmp_seq=3 Destination Host Unreachable

[admin@dotstollhadoop1 ~]$ netstat -ar

Could you also send a sceenshot of the edit settings for the VM? I'm interested in the VMs network settings and also post a screenshot of the network config for the host
