No Host Networking on Resume from Sleep - Windows 7

Why would the presence of an enabled VMNet8 or VMNet1 virtual adapter/switch on the host interfere with Windows 7 ability to reestablish DNS service after resume from sleep?

The same issue does not occur when:

- VMWare is not installed

- The VMNet1/8 adapters are disbled in Windows Networking.

This is VMWare Workstation 7.0 for Windows, build: 7.1.1 build-282343.

See: http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en/w7network/thread/c1253ab0-4793-449e-8975-a900ce7dec4f

Important point: It's only after resume from sleep. After a clean start, do not have this problem.
