Losing DNS after going into sleep/hibernation

[javadba]

Hi,

  I'm running vmware player/workstation (happens in both..) with  Host=Win7 and Guest=Ubuntu 10.04 (Lucid).   When first installed everything works fine.  But after sleep/hibernation i lose DNS.  IP/DHCP is still there: the VM guest can still ping 184.51.159.25 .. but can not 'see' www.oracle.com

How is the VM networked? Using NAT or Bridged connection ?

i have same behavior either way nat or bridged

I haven't had time to investigate further into my issue, but it sounds strangely familiar: http://communities.vmware.com/thread/325292

That issue is not the same since in my case no 'sleeping' is occurring.

Mine's not sleeping either - the screen does go blank though (within the VM window), but it's still running.

[javadba]

ok, but that's still not my situation.  Nothing untoward is going on except no DNS

Hi anyone,

   I am still experiencing this and it is a showstopper.
