I am using Ubuntu 17.04 with VMware Workstation 12 Player. I installed Windows 10 as Guest in VMware Player. But cannot make the internet work. Getting the following error,

Could not connect 'Ethernet0' to virtual network '/dev/vmnet8

VMware Network settings

Tried Bridged and Host-only options, still not working.

My /etc/network/interfaces contents,

auto lo iface lo inet loopback

My ifconfig output,

Can anyone help me to fix this.
