Hi Borris,

could you please check your bridging: I can only describe it for VMware Workstation, VMware player may require similar actions.

Chose "Edit | Virtual Network Editor" from the menu.

You may have to click on "Change Settings" (Administrator privileges are required to modify the network configuration)

The upper part of the window should show VMnet0 (Bridged), VMnet1 (Host-only) and VMnet8 (NAT).

Click on the line starting with VMnet0, Bridged

It will most likely show "Auto-bridging"

Click on the button "Automatic Settings"

It will show, all adapters eligible for bridging.

A common reason for the problem you describe can be, that the wrong adapter is selected. Wi-Fi adapters for instance are primary suspects to cause such an error.

I suspect that your "Intel(R) 82579V Gigabit Network Connection" is the only good adapter. Uncheck the rest!

Best Regards,
