Yup I'm still having this problem. Now I have a different machine and entirely different hardware, and a different version of VMWare Workstation (same as you, 9.0.2 build 1031769). Host is Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 x64. Network adapter is Intel(R) 82579V Gigabit Network Connection using stock microsoft driver and all power management 'Wake' options in its device settings are disabled.
I wonder why this happens. Weird!
