The VM must be powered off, not suspended, to change that setting. Boot the VM, then do a proper shutdown inside the VM, you should then be able to change that setting.

I know this probably goes without saying, but have you done VM > Install VMware Tools
from the VMware Workstation menu? VMware Workstation temporarily connects the virtual machine's first virtual CD-ROM drive to the ISO image file that contains the VMware Tools installer for your guest operating system and you are ready to begin the installation process.

This is because your VM is configured as a "Shared VM." You need to move it out of the "Shared VM's" folder in VMWare Workstation.

Update Vmware tools and enable "Network sharing" - works for me.
This is still true as of Version 15.xx (2019) in case anyone new is wondering! – Hobbamok – 2019-12-05T09:20:46.923
This is not true in current versions of VMware Workstation (at least 8, 9, not sure about older ones). – pabouk – 2013-07-27T19:28:08.653
