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.

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