Hi,

Check Vmware Tool installed/updated on Virtual machine. To support Vmxnet3 VMware tool should be installed on the VM.

What about server Event Viewer ? Does it report some errors useful for investigation ?

maybe my answer doesn't hit purposes of this forum but: did you already checked following configuration parameters with VMware Support ? 

Then about Operating System:

 

  • Which is OS version of your DC ?
  • Did you also try to clean all hidden/orphaned devices:

    1. From Command Prompt type: set show_nonpresent_devices = 1 (enter)
    2. Then launch Device Manager: devmgmt.msc (enter)
    3. From View menu tick "Show hidden devices" item
    4. Now you should see orphaned devices (if exist), grayed out: remove those Network cards no more in use.
    5. Try to remove and re-add VMXNET3 network adapter

    Note: Try also to update VMXNET3 driver from Device Manager manually (Folder: %ProgramFiles%\VMware\VMware Tools\Drivers\vmxnet3)
