Workstation 12.5.2 build-4638234 running on Windows 7 host.
I have several VMs, all either Windows 7, 8.1 or 10. All have a bridged network connection.
One of my Windows 7 guests is suffering from erratic network behaviour. For example here is a typical ping to the Gateway (172.29.0.1)
PING: transmit failed. General failure.
