Are you sure the vNIC is in a "connected" state?

That error also appears when the NIC is disabled.

Hi LucD,

Thanks for your reply,

Actually , the conected network name was wrong,  the true name is "local area connection 2"  not "local area connection".

thanks, also hope other people aviods this error in case met this similar issue.
