Hi,
I’m currently planning to upgrade our DC AD functioning level to server 2012
So we started to install our first Window Server 2012 R2 guest VM
But after installation we encountered some connection issues running a guest "Windows 2012 R2" with connection settings set to "Bridged".
i tried searching google and this community if the problem already had been posted with a solution, but no luck in finding it.

Windows server 2012 R2 (Guest)
Symptoms:
Windows connection: No Internet Access
Windows Tray icon: Screen with yellow exclamation mark
Not able to ping computers in network

Network Configuration (Guest):
DHCP: Yes
Auto-configuration IPv4: 169.254.67.121

(rest is empty)
Troubleshoot:
- Assign Static IP-adres
- Assign only DNS
- Turn off Firewall, UAC, Anti-Virus
- Edit .vmx: “ethernet0.virtualDev” to e1000, e1000e, and VMXNET 3
- Frequently shutdown/boot OS between above steps.
Note:
Switching adapter to “NAT” or “Host only” works but for my purpose i need to use the bridged mode
