I’m glad it helped you. Digging’ deeper the issue is caused by a SonicWall filter (DNE LIghtweight Filter) on the NIC adapter you use for bridging. So you can just open NIC’s properties and uncheck that filter so you do not have to uninstall SonicWall client and when you need vpn connectivity just check it again of course this will bring back the issue. 

I hope this helps too.

I guess this issue can be also caused by another filter installed by antivirus or another vpn client.

I hope this helps too.

I have been banging my head against the wall for many hours trying to fix this issue, I tried everything in this post more than once and still was unable to fix it... UNTIL NOW!

 

For me the problem was the DHCP server from my home network wasn't serving the VM an IP address.  Setting the IP address manually was the final thing that fixed it for me.  Keep in mind, I also did everything else on the list, so it could also have been one of those things in conjunction with the manual IP address.

After all the time I spent on this, I HAD to share, because no guide or post I read mentioned manually setting the IP address.

Thanks @mekkano ,

I had walked all the solutions on this thread and my solution was based on your post.

 

"I’m glad it helped you. Digging’ deeper the issue is caused by a SonicWall filter (DNE LIghtweight Filter) on the NIC adapter you use for bridging.

I work with several VPN clients, and they make some mess with my connections, even Checkpoint or other VPN clients does not work when Forcepoint client is active.

Unchecking the Forcepoint VPN driver on my real physical wi-fi adapter resolved the problem.

 

 

Below is a link to other bridge network problems I've found that could help others too, wich summarizes various solutions.

This is the answer.  Beware of other hypervisors and their adapters.  In my case, I also had VirtualBox installed and I had to uncheck its adapter in the VMware Virtual Network Editor program.
