Hello All,
This is the second discussion I'm posting regarding this issue as its still a problem after just updating VMWare Workstation Player to Version 14.1.5 build-10950780. And I never got any replies to my original post...
It appears that VMnet0 still is not working after the upgrade. When using the default network settings with the Virtual Network Editor, and selecting "Bridged: Connected directly to the physical network" in the VM's settings, the virtual machine disconnects from the network and then reconnects. However, it stays connected using VMnet8 (*NAT). I can tell because its using the IP DHCP Pool addresses shown in Windows' ipconfig for vmnet8.
Also, running ipconfig /all in windows doesn't show that a VMnet0 actually exists. I assume you would normally see a VMnet0 adapter in ipconfig's output.
I can sort of workaround Bridged by using the Virtual Network Editor and setting VMnet8 as the Bridged adapter. However, when I do this I can only Manually select which Physical Adapter I want to use, i.e. Ethernet Adapter or Wi-Fi Adapter. And also, when doing this only the Ethernet Adapter option works, won't work when manually choosing the Wi-Fi adapter in the editor, the VM just never connects to the Wi-Fi.

Thanks in Advance,
