Sudden problem with connection to internet

I run Windows 7 on VM Ware Fusion 6.0.6 on an iMac 2,66GHz Intel Core 2 duo with OSX 10.9.5.

Until 2 days ago everything worked well with my Windows applications and connection to the Internet.

When I now trying to use either Internet explorer, Safari or any other application using the internet I get the message "Computer not connected to a network".

Using the trouble shooter of Windows I get the message "Network cable is not properly plugged or may be broken".

I replugged the connection cable on both sides - computer and router - with no result. I also did reset my router without success. But this of course is not the source of the problem since the Apple side of my computer shows clearly that I have an Ethernet connection and I have no problem whatsoever to surf, mail or using any other application via Internet.

Can anybody tell me how to restore my Internet connection on the Windows 7 side?

Thanks beforehand for your assistance

Hi fafmac,

Have you checked the vmnet services?

If all related services has been running, suggest to try to re-enable network adapter of your guest OS through Settings->Network Adapter->Uncheck 'connect network adapter' and recheck it.

If not, suggest to restart your host and try it again.

Hope helpful~

Did you install some specific applications inside your VM?
