I installed VMWare workstation on Windows 2008 R2 and after every restoart of host I have no connectivity to Internet. After disabling and reenablin all VMWare virtual network cards everything was OK. Then I solved the problem by putting into windows scheduler following script (and start in on system start with 5 minutes delay)

strComputer = "."

Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:
" & _

strComputer & "\root\cimv2")

set colAdapters = _

objWMIService.Execquery ("Select * from Win32_NetworkAdapter Where NetEnabled=True")

For Each Adapter in colAdapters

If Left(Adapter.Name,6)="VMware" Then

errReturn = Adapter.Disable()

errReturn = Adapter.Enable()

End If

Now everything works perfectly.
