Networking issue in virtual machine (Ubuntu or WinXp under WMPlayer on Windows 7)?

Question

VMware

Windows 7 has WMPlayer. Several virtual machines live in it (Ubuntu 11.10, WinXP, in principle, does not matter).

If NAT is specified in the network settings of these machines, then there are no problems. And if Bridged, then an interesting picture is obtained. Sequence of actions:

1. Turn on the computer. We start the virtual machine (it doesn't matter which one - Ubuntu or WinXP, the main thing is that bridged is indicated in the network settings)
2. Everything works fine.
3. We do shudown to the virtual machine.
4. We send Host PC (Windows 7 Home) to sleep mode - the problem's legs grow from here
5. We bring Host PC out of hibernation. We start the virtual machine again. All. Network does not plow on the virtual machine. I switch it to NAT - everything works. I switch back to bridged - there is no network on the virtual machine.

If you restart the Host, everything works fine, until the first "hibernation".

Who faced this?

Answer 1

Since the days of win xp, the Windows network has been crooked and buggy to the point (not for the sake of holivar), which was worth the problems of the form - no actions from netsh worked until you press F5 in the explorer window with a list of network connections.
Try to perform some reconfiguration actions with the network on the host machine - for example, turn off and on the virtual network adapter (even if it is not used in your configuration)

In bridged mode, VMWare Player was trying to connect via the VirtualBox Virtual Network adapter for some reason (I also have VirtualBox installed). I edited the settings via vmnetcfg.exe and everything worked.
