Linux Vmware import Networksettings

I have to use Vmware. I do not want to use Windows. So I installed Vmwareplayer on my fedora machine. It works. Good. Now I need to import a lot of VMs and Networks from a backup. The VMs are running. But: how can I import Networksettings?

I got a binary registry file called "Networksettings":

[user]$ file Networksettings
Networksettings: MS Windows registry file, NT/2000 or above

Now in the Windows version of Vmwareplayer there is this "import" button. In the Linux version, when I start sudo vmware-netcfg I could not find such an import button... So I search around in /usr/bin/vmware-* and found out about this command and its arguments vmware-networks --migrate-network-settings <networkettingsfile>. Then I logged into the root shell and got this:

 [root]$ vmware-networks --migrate-network-settings Networksettings
Stopped all configured services on all networks
Failed to import configuration information from backup file Networksettings

Well. After that I even converted the file "Networkstetings" to xml-file and tried to import that, but no success either.

What should I do?
I'm thinking of setting up a dual boot... but I would rather just stick with Linux.

Question is pretty broad and doesn't ask a specific question that isn't going to receive alot of opinionated answers.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
