Hi all,
Hoping for some help with some network issues I am experiencing with VMware Workstation 15 Pro (15.5.6) running Windows Server 2016 Datacenter x64 (10.0.14393). My host is Windows 10 Enterprise x64 (10.0.19042).
I have one network adapter configured as VMnet2 (NAT), which has been communicating fine for a few weeks. All of a sudden (while the VM was running) the network adapter stopped communicating with my host completely. This has happened once before, where I had to delete and use a previous backup of the VM.
Points of note:
- Other VMs are still communicating normally (so I have not tried re-installing VMware)
- When trying to ping out, get "General failure"
- Under the VM net adapter the bytes sent and received is increasing intermittently (sent is approx 3 times as many as received)
- VM Windows Firewall has been turned off the whole time and there is no antivirus
- VMNAT and VMDHCP services are running on my host
- Wireshark is detecting traffic on the interface (assuming receiving)
What I have tried:
- Disabling, re-enabling network adapter
- Restarting virtual machine
- Removing and re-adding the virtual network adapter
- Configuring network adapter as different type (NAT and bridged through custom vnets, NAT and bridged through built ins)
- Updated VMware Tools (11.0.6)
- Searching forums for other things to try
- I have tried a USB network adapter (connecting the USB to the VM) and this doesn't work either
Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance.
Jack
