I recently started working on a new project and to get ramped up I needed to download and install a virtual machine so I could connect to the customer's systems. The virtual image runs in a variation of VMware player (version 6.0.2 build-1744117) called "mokafive".
The virtual machine runs fine, and I don't have any trouble starting or stopping the VM, But when I start up the VM in the mokafive player, Bluetooth completely disappears from the host laptop. I can see it in Device Manager and everything is fine. Then I start up the player, and Bluetooth disappears all together. See the screen shots below:
Here you can see Bluetooth is working normally (on the host):
Next I start up the player:
And once the VM is up and running, Bluetooth is no longer visible in Device Manager:
Any ideas why Bluetooth stops working and what I can do to fix it?
Cheers,
Paul
