I've just installed VMWare Workstation 9 on a headless Ubuntu 12.04 server. How can I run the Virtual Network Editor from the command line? When attempting to run it via the vmware program over X (Edit > Virtual Network Editor), nothing happens - thus I am looking for how to start it stand-alone.

What is the command to run it alone?

Found the answer. In the default Workstation install, the network editor was located at:

/usr/lib/vmware/bin/vmware-netcfg

I had to run the above as root, and the editor opened in an X window.
