Hello guys,
I am having a problem with VMware Player 5.0.2 build-1031769 (the same existed with older versions of VMware Player 5 but this is the one I currently have).
The Player does not recognize my wireless adapter Intel Centrino Ultimate-N 6300 AGN on a Lenovo T410 laptop. I have another T410 with Intel Centrino Ultimate-N 6200 AGN and it works fine.
Here are the symptoms:
- When I use NAT networking it works fine
- When I use bridged networking, the guest OS (in this case Windows XP) says that the cable is disconnected
- I found some threads saying that this might be a router issue but it is not because with the other laptop in the same network everything works fine
- When I connect to the network using LAN (cable) bridged connection works without a problem
- My network on the host OS works without any problem
- Windows recognizes the wireless adapter without any problem:
- VMware Player does not show the adapter in the bridging settings but shows some kind of Microsoft virtual adapter:
- When I run the Virtual Network Editor it is the same: no real adapter but the Microsoft virtual adapter
- I tried resetting the network configuration to the defaults but this did not help
I am running Windows 8 Enterprise.
I would appreciate any help. Thanks.
