Is it VMWare Workstation 12 Pro could not run more than 2 virtual machine(s) network to "bridged"?

Hi community,

I am running VMWare Workstation 12 Pro on a Windows 7 Pro. I am create 4 Virtual Machine, which are 3 Windows 10 Pro & 1 Windows XP Pro.

I am facing an issue, if I set 2 Virtual Machine network to "bridged", and I trying to Ping google.com in 2 virtual machine (Windows 10 Pro) & Windows host (Windows 7 Pro). At first the respone time is 3~4ms. But after a while (around 10 mins), all Ping will show "Request timed out".

If I set 1 virtual machine network to "bridged", and the rest virtual machine network to "NAT", this issue would not happen.

My question: Is it VMWare Workstation 12 Pro could not run more than 2 virtual machine(s) network to "bridged"?

Cheers

VMWare Workstation 12 Pro supports multiple VM running in Bridge mode,  Could you please capture the ICMP packet fromt he host side to see the Request/Reply to identify where the packet has been lost ? thanks
