Network Adapter - Custom: Specific virtual Network keeps changing

Hi there, I'm running the latest version of VMware Workstation 15 Pro - 15.5.1 build-15018445 on a Windows 10 Pro machine

I've seen a similar thread in this forum but with Workstation 14.  I have the latest updated version of Workstation 15 Pro

My VM's seem to change the custom virtual network each time I power them down and power them up.

So if I need the Network Adapter to stay on VMnet3, it will change over to VMnet2 or something else the next time I boot it up.

I've tried putting in some settings to the .vmx file  but it still changes.

ethernet0.connectiontype = "custom"

ethernet0.vnet = "vmnet3"

serial0.present = "TRUE"

serial0.pipe.endpoint = "server"

serial0.startconnected = "TRUE"

ethernet0.displayname = "VMnet3"

Is there anything I can do to make the setting permanent?

thanks!

Matt

Try this: Workstation 15.0.2 - Network Adapters keep changing from custom network to Bridged
