Thanks for the information. It is possible that the vmware virtual network adapter send dhcp re-fresh request as a client before the DHCP service ready from the wake up.
Would you please try to configure a static IP address to the "Ethernet VMware Network Adapter VMnet8" (192.168.142.1/255.255.255.0 for your case just leave the gateway and DNS blank should be fine), and again try the sleep/wake up action
