Very slow internet connection in player when compared to workstation version

Hi Folks

So I was using the workstation version for a month the internet browsing in VM was fantastic (same as the host) in terms of speed. Then, once I changed to the VMWare player version the internet browsing is at least 2x slower than the host even sites like google takes 30 seconds-1Min to load. The ping looks like the following

VM (128 TTL response)

Host (50 TTL response)

I'm using NAT for the adapter the only thing which has changed is from moving from the full workstation product to just the player which I downloaded of the website yesterday so using the latest version. I can also confirm the host isn't struggling. Core I7 CPU with 8GB memory.

Suggestions?

I tried the bridge connection but all those options broke the internet connection within the VM.

Even with NAT if you hover over adaptor it says no internet connection though there is one?

Thanks
