There should be a warning that configuring a new nic will disable 
previously configured nics.

Host Tab -> Network Interfaces -> click on Setup Host Networks

On the popup, hover over the logical network (not the nic) and a little 
pencil or pen (or some other graphic) that is used for editing.  Click 
on that and you'll get another popup where you can choose static/dhcp 
and set gateway, ip and netmask.
