Host NIC cannot connect after VMware Player installation

Hi,

I've just installed VMware Player on a HP Z440 workstation with Windows 7 x64.

Everything seems fine except that sometimes when I start the computer the physical NIC don't connect to the network.

Most of the time I can just disable the NIC and enable it again to fix the problem, but obviously something is wrong.

If I disable the VMware NIC's I don't get any problems.

I have a VM installed which is using bridged network, but my issue occurrs before I even start the VM.

Any ideas of how to solve this?

Solved!

It turned out the switch port that the host was connected to only allowed one MAC address...
