bridged network causes host problems

I'm using Workstation Pro 14.

When I configure my vm image for bridged networking so it is exposed for other machines on my network, it causes problems for my host's network access.  For example...

  • my host's Outlook connection to a remote exchange server dies and cannot be recovered
  • my Remote Desktop session to another host dies and cannot be re-initiated

When I reconfigure the vm networking back to NAT (sharing host IP), all is well with my host networking, but other hosts on the network cannot access the VM

Is there a solution that allows access to the image from other hosts on my network without causing problems for my host's network access?
