can we classify this as a VMNAT.EXE bug for fix in next version?

VMNAT.EXE Bug? VMWare 17.0.2 to 17.5.0 - change in network behavior

htoh — Sat, 28 Oct 2023 09:57:42 GMT

At version 17.0.2:

Host: Windows 11
Guest: Windows 10, 11
Network: DHCP -- host (VPN) -- VMWare Guest (vmxnet3 - NAT)
Behavior: Works normally, sleep, wakes, works normally

At version 17.5.0:

New Behavior: Works normally, sleep, wakes, DNS calls fail
Immediate Workaround: (vmxnet3 - bridged), but VPN is bypassed

This change in behavior occurs with VMWare Tools 12.3.0 and 12.3.5

Can anything be done to make NAT work with VPN (after sleep and wake)?

Additional Information:

What did not work: Restarting VM NAT Service
What worked: Restarting VM NAT Service after file replacement - vmnat.exe (version 17.5.0) changed to vmnat.exe (version 17.0.2)

Incredible, it worked, like black magic!

I just had to change:

ddb.adapterType = "pvscsi"

ddb.adapterType = "lsilogic"

Why or how this works is a mystery. Now, I must change pvscsi to lsilogic, merge, then change it back.

Thanks for having a look at the descriptor file

(some identifiers have been randomized)

Merging VMDK failure: vmware-vdiskmanager quits with error 0x3e80

htoh — Sat, 15 Jun 2019 15:03:37 GMT

On WS 15.1.0 host=Windows 10 guest=Windows 10, attempting to merge split vmdk files w10.vmdk, w10-s001.vmdk ... w10-s011.vmdk with this command:

vmware-vdiskmanager.exe -r w10.vmdk -t 0 w10-new.vmdk

It fails with this message

Failed to convert disk: One of the parameters supplied is invalid (0x3e80).

The vm files are all normal. For example, vmware-vdiskmanager.exe -k w10.vmdk or vmware-vdiskmanager.exe -d w10.vmdk executes without error.

What am I doing wrong?

I sort of understand what you're saying. So the missing stack accounts for the dev id? Is there anything at all we could do about this? Should I upgrade to Vista?

I have the same problem.

Windows 7 x64 guest on Windows 8.1 x64 host.

In the VM guest, device with yellow bang comes up: VEN_15AD&DEV_0778&SUBSYS_077815AD

I'm running VM Player 6.0.3

So where can we get this driver?
