How do I manage virtual network settings in VMWare Player?

The answer is outdated*, but the question not (I have the same question for the current version of the software). Should it be re-asked as a new independent question? Or some how "reopen" it? (it is not closed, it just has no "attraction", since it has an accepted answer)

* as will every answer on the site be eventually...

PS: I took another look and saw that the answer is actually still relevant (mostly). I added some edits to cover newer versions. Hmm, I just see the edit was rejected. The reason given: "This edit was intended to address the author of the post and makes no sense as an edit. It should have been written as a comment or an answer." I don't get it. Newer versions of Player require one extra step in the already posted solution, so I added it into the solution. Why was this deemed as "intended to address the author"? It is clearly enhancing the solution given and has nothing to do with the author. Is there anything I can do? I believe you can see the change here: https://superuser.com/review/suggested-edits/534734
