third VM won't connect to network

[HappyYoungMan]

I cannot get more that 2 VM's to connect to the network at the same time.

I am running VMware Workstation 11.1.2.

I have successfully created three VMs from physical machines.

It seems I can only connect two at a time to the network.

i.e. Any two machines connect to the network, but when I start the third machine it does not connect.

All three VM Network Adapters are set to Bridged (Automatic).

I have made no changes to the Virtual Network Editor.

My goal is to have a total of 4 VM's running simultaneously.

Thank you for helping.

Welcome to the Community,

the issue is most likely related to port security settings on the physical switch port, which limits the number of MAC addresses. Please check whether this is the case on your switch.
