Hello Scott,
Help appreciated thanks.
Yes I tried pretty much all possible combination for the VM network connection : bridged, NAT, then custom on various VMnet with bridged or NAT. None solved the issue : the guest OS doesn't detect the network card and doesn't have IP even if the interface is connected in VM network settings
VMnet0 is custom type BEFORE I click change settings, I feel like it should have bridged here :
AFTER I click change settings and enter my admin credentials the VMnet0 type changes to bridged but it doesn't say connected to host connection. I tried everything here as well : bridged, NAT, restore defaults... Nothing fix the issue : the guest OS doesn't get a network interface. I uninstalled/reinstalled Workstation pro but didn't fix the issue either.
Inside the guest OS the network settings of the Ubuntu system doesn't have network as if no network card was detected and there is no network logo at the top right when there is actually a connected network card :
I upgraded Ubuntu 20 LTS to 22.04.1 LTS recently so maybe that's the cause of the issue but is has been working immediately after the upgrade for a little while.
