As John Andersen mentioned, this all looks pretty much correct. When you run through this script, and define the bridged network(s) - how many have you set up? How many physical ethernet devices do you have? What I've had happen is to have my wired interface (eth0) bridged and then tried to run VMware when on a wireless network. When this has been done, obviously the wired network is not available and you can get a message similar to the one you are reporting. If you want to send along the output of ifconfig -a and ps -eaf | grep vmnet-bridge that might help.
Hi again Jon.
You can see above, that I have set up 2 bridged network. Vmnet1 and vmnet 8. I have one physical ethernet device.
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.
Here's the outputs:
# ifconfig -a eth3 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:0B:6A:EC:05:21 inet addr:192.168.1.9 Bcast:255.255.255.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 inet6 addr: fe80::20b:6aff:feec:521/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:15626 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:12703 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:15271791 (14.5 Mb) TX bytes:1321587 (1.2 Mb) Interrupt:185 Base address:0xc000

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.
