Workstation 12 Pro - no network connection – after W10 update 1703

[petarpetrovicsy]

Host: W10 Pro update 1703, 32GB, i7-5820

Guest: any version of Windows with bridged network

Issue:

When a guest is powered on, an error message pops up in the bottom right hand corner:

“… vmnet0 is not running…” and the guest has no connection to the Internet (or network for that matter).

A guest with NAT works fine.

Solution:

Run virtual network editor, click on “change settings” to be able to access all options that are greyed out, and then click on “Restore Defaults”.

Hi,

I have seen something like that before, I cannot really remember what was the solution back then, but!
Maybe very simplistic, but! Try to uninstall ... reboot ... reinstall workstation!
This fixes the network stack for Workstation and probably fix your issue!
