VMware Workstation 16 Pro buggy NAT connection

I am having some major issues with Workstation 16 Pro and my network on guest machines.

The problem:

Loss of internet kinda when running heavy packet loads like nmap on guest machines when in NAT. This affects all guests even when one guest is running nmap they all lose connection.

What I have tried to fix the problem:

I went to Virtual Network Editor as an admin and restored all to default: didn't work

Went into the installation prompt and did a repair (this uninstalled all network interfaces and reinstalled them): didn't work

Went through and fully uninstalled workstation pro, rebooted, installed workstation pro, rebooted, ran workstation pro and updated, rebooted: didn't work

Any help would be beneficial. This only happens on one of my machines (laptop) my desktop does not have the same issues.
