VMware Workstation 14.0 guests losing network

I am running VMware Workstation 14.0 on Windows 7 64-bit (on an i7 laptop with 16 GB RAM).

I typically have several guests running Linux up, which I use to connect through to cloud-based services.

I am often finding that my guests lose network connectivity and I have to disconnect/reconnect the network to bring things back to life.

I had thought this was associated with the screen lock engaging, so I went and disabled the laptop's network interfaces power saving options.

But hat hasn't fixed it and I can even be sat at my desk doing things in one guest for a while, and ten go back to the other one to find it's (again) lost its network.

Any thoughts/suggestions?

Hello,

I was able to find this KB article which talks about various network related issues for different versions of Workstation, please see if this helps:
