bridged network not working VMware player

Question

I am using VMware-player-7.0.0-2305329, when I configure bridged network configuration to connect to the local-host network, it won't connect and its not even throwing any errors in VMLog as well as in Event Viewer.

Local system configuration:

windows 8

intel core i3-3220 @3.3GHZ processor

8 gb RAM

Realtek PCIe GBE Family Controller Ver. 8.21.909.2013

Guest System Configuration:

Windows Server 2008 R2

6GB Ram

here's what i have tried to resolve this problem.

1. uninstalled and installed VMWare bridge Protocol in local host network properties.

2. uninstalled vmware player and all the instances from c drive and registry and cleaned using Registry cleaner, restarted the system and installed newer version of VMware Player but still same problem exist.

3. reinstalled VMWare tools in guest OS.

so what you guys think about this problem, is there any solution?
