Network no longer available in Ubuntu 12.04 guest

[geophile]

I suspended by Ubuntu 12.04 VM and then (after the suspend seemed to complete) shut down my Mac. I then restarted my Mac, started VMWare, and there was no option to restart the suspended VM. Instead, I could start the VM, and it seemed to come up successfully. But there was no network access (see ifconfig output below). I reinstalled vmware tools, which did not help.

Here is my setup:

MacBook Pro 15-inch, early 2011

OS X 10.10.1

VMWare 7.1.0

Ubuntu 12.04

Hi geophile,

Welcome to the community.

Which network were you using, bridged or NAT? Did you try to renew ip address inside the VM? Please try to use 'dhclient -r' command and then 'ifconfig' to see if your VM could get ip address.
