Vmware Player + Debian: No Internet Connection with Network Nat

I don't know what I did or what changed but about an hour ago I lost internet connection on my VMware Player with latest Debian installed. I already restarted Host and Client, reinstalled VMware-Tools, removed and added a virtual network adapter with NAT enabled, but all that didn't change anything.
I took a look at VMware Network Adapter VMnet1 and VMware Network Adapter VMnet8 and they both tell me that they don't have network access:
Could this possibly be the root of the problem?
Edit: This is the Virtual Network Editor:
Edit 2: I downloaded the latest 14.1.1-version of VMware Player and upgraded to this latest version - now network is working again.

Open VmWare Virtual Network Editor and reconfigure vmnets
What happens if you use the connection troubleshooter in the VM on VMnet8? VMnet1 here appears to be configured only to allow the VMs to communicate with each other; VMnet8 appears to be the connection that gets you to the Internet. I'm under the impression your guest just needs to request a new IP address.
