Network Adapter Constantly reconnect

Javi-Infosec — Sat, 02 Sep 2023 13:16:02 GMT

Hello! Community, im having this weird issue when every minute or so, the Network Adapter (NAT) disconnects.

Host:

NAME="Linux Mint" VERSION="21.2 (Victoria)" ID=linuxmint ID_LIKE="ubuntu debian" PRETTY_NAME="Linux Mint 21.2" VERSION_ID="21.2" Kernel: 5.15.0-82-generic

Guess:

PRETTY_NAME="Kali GNU/Linux Rolling" NAME="Kali GNU/Linux" VERSION_ID="2023.3" VERSION="2023.3" VERSION_CODENAME=kali-rolling Kernel: 6.3.0-kali1-amd64

This is an example of the vmware.log

Im kinda clueless with this. I have used Kali prebuilt Image. At first i thought my Kali performance was low because from time to time it freezed (i have a CLI box that i SSH into) but every time it freezed it was because this disconnection.

Edit: I forgot to mention that I'm using a wireless connection for internet in the host.

Edit2: I have tested with a Host-only Adapter and it seems to be working fine. So my guess is that it's related to an issue between my host network adapter and vmware.
