No. The above shows that you have two host-only networks; vmnet1 and vmnet8. 
Bizarrely you have a NAT network also on vmnet8. Seems a bit odd to me. Your 
bridged network is running on vmnet0.

OK - so you have a physical ethernet card on eth3 according to ifconfig. Yet 
VMware is trying to bridge eth0 according to the output above. You'll need to 
re-run the config script and this time specify eth3 as the brideged device.

Hope this helps,
Jon
