VMWorkstation 11 NIC usage
I have a server with 48gb ram, 4 - 10/100/1000 NIC ports and 2 quad core Xeon CPUs. I have installed VmWorstation 11.0 and I created 4 vm's. Allocating the amount of ram and CPU and HDD to each VM is pretty straight forward, but I am totally confused on how to make use of the 4 NIC cards in the server. Right now they are just default bridging to the physical network, which I assume is sending traffic to just one NIC?
Any help is much appreciated...

Wondering why you aren't using vSphere. That is the product used for servers. That is one that would allow access to all of your NICs.

OK, I found Virtual Network Editor as you suggested, and I click on the ADD A NETWORK button, first choice says VmNet3, I click OK. I see the added network (host only), but when I try to change network to BRIDGED I get an error saying "Cannot change network to bridged: there are no unbridged host network adapters"

Customer has already bought VMWorkstation for his server.

Good advise and I also have my nics configured. Will look at the free type 1 options as well.

Create new networks, using different nics, and bind new bridged network, to another physical nic.
Use the Virtual Network Editor in the VMware Startmenu Group
