Vmware windows 10 нет сети

VMware — отличный гипервизор, позволяющий пользователям управлять виртуальными машинами, но некоторые пользователи сообщают, что иногда сеть не может быть использована на ВМ, в то время как на хост-машине соединение работает нормально.

«Я использую HP zbook, x86-64, на котором установлена рабочая станция Windows 10. Сценарий заключается в том, что сетевое подключение ВМ иногда не работает. В большинстве случаев оно работает отлично, но периодическое отключение от сети сводит меня с ума. Как я могу это исправить?»

Раздел 1. Почему ваша ВМ не подключена к Интернету?

На самом деле, к этому может привести множество причин. Согласно решениям пользователей, возможными причинами могут быть антивирус, отключенная системная служба, устаревшее приложение или системные сбои.

Другими словами, соединение может быть заблокировано вашим брандмауэром или антивирусом на хост-машине. Ваш профессиональный антивирус выполняет сканирование, изоляцию или другие задачи. Предполагается, что ваша ВМ VMware представляет угрозу для вашего компьютера, поэтому вы не можете пользоваться Интернетом на ВМ.

Более того, соответствующая системная служба, такая как служба NAT или служба DHCP, может быть отключена, так что сеть не может использоваться на ВМ.

Что касается системных сбоев, то их можно легко устранить путем перезагрузки, или же никто не знает об ошибке, поэтому вам, возможно, придется переустановить операционную систему.

Раздел 2. Как подключить ваш ВМ к Интернету?

Поскольку вам известны возможные причины, по которым вы не можете использовать сеть на виртуальной машине, вы можете устранить неполадку в соответствии с симптомами вашей виртуальной машины или воспользоваться решениями, приведенными в этом разделе, чтобы устранить проблему.

Решение 1. Перезагрузите ваша ВМ

Верьте или нет, но согласно опыту, перезагрузка может решить 90% проблем с компьютером. Вы не пожалеете, если попробуете самое простое решение. Возможно, вы обнаружите, что подключение к сети вашей ВМ наладилось как по волшебству.

Решение 2. Отключите антивирус

Как было сказано ранее, отключение антивируса или брандмауэра может решить проблему. Вы также можете спросить техническую поддержку вашего антивируса, есть ли режим для VM. Насколько нам известно, у AVG Antivirus есть такая опция, которая разрешает любой трафик с / на виртуальные машины, поддерживаемые брандмауэром.

Решение 3. Включите сервис NAT VMWare/сервис DHCP

Нажмите клавишу Windows и R > введите services.msc > найдите службу VMware NAT и включите ее. Вы также можете включить другие соответствующие службы, такие как Bridged (DHCP).

Перезапуск соответствующих служб также может помочь смягчить ситуацию.

Решение 4. Обновите сетевой адаптер Windows

Щелкните правой кнопкой мыши на значок Windows на рабочем столе > выберите Device Manager > найдите и разверните Network adapters  > щелкните правой кнопкой мыши соответствующий адаптер> выберите Update Driver Software > выберите Search Automatically for Updated Driver Software > ждите завершения обновления

Решение 5. Переустановите сетевой адаптер

Найдите сетевой адаптер, как в Решении 4 > щелкните правой кнопкой мыши соответствующий адаптер > выберите Uninstall Device > выберите «Scan for hardware changes» (чуть ниже опции Help) в диспетчере устройств, чтобы переустановить сетевой адаптер.

Если вы не смогли обнаружить, что сетевой адаптер VMware не отображается на этой панели, вы также можете использовать это решение для его переустановки.

Решение 6. Переподключитесь к сети вручную

Перезагрузите ВМ > дважды щелкните на значок адаптера > если на нем написано «Connected», снимите флажок (например, отсоедините кабель Ethernet) > проверьте его еще раз, чтобы снова подключиться к Интернету

Решение 7. Настройка сети

Некоторые пользователи сообщают, что установка IP ADSL-маршрутизатора в качестве DNS-IP в редакторе виртуальной сети в vmnet8—> Настройки NAT—> Настройки DNS может решить проблему.

Решение 8. Диагностика Windows

Перейдите в Network and Sharing Center > выберите Change adapter settings > щелкните правой кнопкой мыши «VMware Network Adapter VMnet1» (вы можете увидеть на нем красный крестик) > выберите Diagnose > проделайте то же самое для «VMware Network Adapter VMnet8»

Некоторые пользователи также сообщали, что отключение сетевых адаптеров и затем выполнение диагностики могут исправить проблему. Похоже, это решение 6.

Решение 9. Редактор виртуальной сети

В программном обеспечении VMware нажмите Edit > выберите Virtual Network Adaptor > нажмите Restore Defaults > нажмите ОК

Решение 10. Переустановите ВМ

Я думаю, это может быть последним решением, которое вы хотите использовать, но оно весьма вероятно исправит проблему. Самое важное — сделать резервное копирование ВМ перед его удалением.

Решение 11. Установите/обновите apt-get

Если вы являетесь пользователем Ubuntu и у вас возникли проблемы с использованием браузера для подключения к интернету, установка или обновление apt-get может стать решением проблемы.

Sometimes, when you want to do some tests on your virtual machine, certain features don’t work fine. That must be a very frustrating experience. Today, we’ll mainly discuss how to fix one of the most common issues you might suffer from while running a virtual machine — VMware bridged network not working. If you are struggling with the same issue, this article on MiniTool Website will be extremely useful.

What Is Network Bridge?

Before discussing today’s topic, you should have a basic concept of Network Bridge. Network Bridge is a computer networking device which allows you to extend your LAN to a slightly larger area. When you are using a virtual machine, you need at least two network adapters and configuring some Windows settings can help you bridge these connections.

You may need Network Bridge in the following scenarios:

  • Hope to connect two distinct network segments.
  • Have no more available ports on your router.
  • Have an unreliable Wi-Fi connection.
  • Run a virtual machine.
  • Need to reduce network collision.

VMware Bridged Network Not Working

Most of you notice that VMware bridged network not working when using a virtual machine and if you are trying to connect your virtual machine to a local area network computer, it is not working, too. This issue is pretty common if you are a VMware Workstation user.

Luckily, you come to the right place! In this article, we will show you how to fix VMware bridged network not working in detail.

Tips:

For those who suffer from VMware Authorization Service not running, see this guide — What to Do When VMware Authorization Service Is Not Running.

How to Fix VMware Bridged Network Not Working Windows 10?

Fix 1: Select Correct Internet Connection

Generally, VMware shares the host’s IP address via NAT and then the virtual machine can use the host’s IP address when trying to create an internet connection. As a result, you can replicate the host computer’s connection state by choosing the dedicated option.

Step 1. Launch VMware Workstation and select the virtual machine that you have an issue with.

Step 2. Click on Edit virtual machine settings.

Step 3. In the Hardware tab, highlight Network Adapter, tick Bridged: Connected directly to the physical network and Replicate physical network connection state under Network connection.

 check the two options under Network connection

Step 4. Hit OK to save the changes.

Fix 2: Use VMnet0

It is also reported that using VMnet0 also helps to solve VMware bridged network not working. Here’s how to program VMware to use a custom virtual network:

Step 1. Open VMware Workstation and select the virtual machine.

Step 2. Press VM and open Settings in the context menu.

open Settings

Step 3. In Hardware, choose Network Adapter from the device list and check Custom: Specific virtual network.

Step 4. In the list of the specific virtual networks, choose VMnet0 and press OK to make the changes effective.

Step 5. Relaunch the virtual machine to see if VMware bridged network not working is gone.

Fix 3: Reboot VMware Bridge Control via CMD

The VMnetbridge.sys file will fail to facilitate communication between the host computer and the guest one if the file becomes glitched or is incorrectly started. In this case, you can fix VMware bridged network not working by restarting the VMnetbridge service via an elevated Command Prompt.

Step 1. Close VMware Workstation without any virtual machine running in the background.

Step 2. Press Win + R to open the Run box, type cmd and press Ctrl + Shift + Enter to launch an elevated Command Prompt.

Step 3. If there is a User Account Control confirmation that pops up, press Yes to give your operations some administrative rights.

Step 4. Run the two commands below to restart the VMnetbridge service and don’t forget to hit Enter after each command.

net stop vmnetbridge

net start vmnetbridge

 stop the VMnetbridge service

Step 5. After the VMnetbridge service is restarted successfully. Relaunch VMware Workstation and open the problematic virtual machine.

Fix 4: Deselect All Unessential Adapters

Generally speaking, VMware automatically chooses the network adapter for you when creating a Bridged network. If the VMware fusion bridged network not working wireless issue still appears, you can deselect all the unnecessary network adapters via VMware Virtual Network Editor.

Warning:

This method is designed for VMware Workstation Pro users. If you are a VMware Workstation Player user, you can skip this method.

Step 1. Launch VMware Workstation Pro and click on Edit > Virtual Network Editor.

Step 2. Press Change Settings at the lower-right of the window.

Step 3. Highlight VMnet0, tick Bridged and then set the Bridged to option from Automatic to the network adapter that you are using at this moment.

Step 3. Open VMware Workstation and launch the virtual machine to see if it works properly.

Fix 6: Restore Virtual Network Editor Settings to Default

If you installed VMware Workstation and at the same time, you update to your Windows 10 build 1703 or later, the VMware bridged network not working issue will occur. You can restore all the settings of Virtual Network Editor to the default by the following steps.

Warning:

This method is also only applicable for VMware Workstation Pro.

Step 1. Open File Explorer and go to the following location to locate vmnetcfg.exe:

C:\Program Files (x86)\VMware\VMware Workstation\vmnetcfg.exe

Step 2. Right-click on it and choose to Run as administrator.

Step 3. Hit Restore Defaults at the lower-right corner of the Virtual Network Editor window.

hit Restore Defaults

Step 4. Press Apply to save the changes.

Fix 7: Disable VPN Client from the Host Computer

As it turns out, most VPN clients are conflicted with VMware Workstation hence triggering the emergence of VMware internet not working. Therefore, you had better uninstall your VPN client or find a VPN client that doesn’t conflict with VMware WorkStation.

Step 1. Press Win + R, type appwiz.cpl and tap on Enter to open Programs and Features.

open Programs and Features

Step 2. Scroll down in the application list and find your VPN client.

Step 3. Right-click on it to choose Uninstall and hit Uninstall again to confirm this action.

Fix 8: Allow VMware Virtual Machine Through Third-Party Antivirus Software

If you manage the network of the virtual machine by the third-party antivirus software, you may also encounter the VMware bridged network not working issue. For instance, Bitdefender doesn’t contain any options that allow virtual networks through the firewall.

If you are using AVG Internet Security at this moment, you can follow the guidelines below:

Step 1. Open Avast Internet Security and then go to Settings > Expert Mode > Advanced Settings.

Step 2. Check Allow any traffic from/to virtual machines supported by firewall and press Apply.

check the first option

Step 3. Relaunch VMware Workstation and open your virtual machine to inspect if VMware bridged network not working is still there.

Suggestion: Back up Virtual Machine to Prevent Suffering from Crash

Just like your host computer, your virtual machine may suffer from other issues besides VMware bridged network not working. The virtual machine is also so vulnerable that it may crash suddenly, which increases the risk of data loss.

Therefore, it is advisable to back up your virtual machine and the important files on it to an external drive to prevent unexpected data loss. In such circumstances, utilizing a professional third-party backup tool to back them up in advance is a good option. Here, I will recommend you to create a backup with the free backup software – MiniTool ShadowMaker.

Wrapping Things up

Now, do you manage to handle VMware bridged network not working? Do you know how to back up & restore your virtual machine OS and important files on it to resist data loss due to unexpected system crash?

Welcome to share your condition with us in the comment area below or send us emails via [email protected], we will reply to you as soon as possible.

After upgrading to Windows 10, all of my VMWare Professional v10.x guest machines lost their connection to the network. Taking a look at their network connections, I found that I’d lost the default vmnet0 network, and trying to add it back as a bridged network threw the error «There are no un-bridged host network adapters».

vmware vne restore defaults

Looking online, there were reports of Anti-Virus conflicts and some network cards not being supported, but I was pretty confident that neither of these were the issue since the bridged connection worked fine in Windows 8.1. I found that restoring the default within the Virtual Network Editor resolved this issue.

To do this, open the Virtual Network Editor within VMWare Workstation (Edit -> Virtual Network Editor), make note of the settings you have in their now, and then click «Restore Defaults».  The process takes about 30 seconds to complete,  and you can see it resetting all of your VMWare network settings.  Once it’s complete, you’ll be the vmnet0 network will be back and will be in a bridged state. You can see a screen shot of the button to click in the image here.


Some VMware Workstation Player and VMware Workstation Pro users are reporting that they’re having a bridged network problem with all their guest machines. What happens is, none of their guest VM’s can contact the host machine and the host machine cannot contact the guest machines. This problem is reported to occur on Windows 7, Windows 8 and Windows 10.

VMware Bridged Network not working

What is causing problems with the VMware Bridged Network?

We investigated this particular issue by looking at various user reports and the repair strategies that are commonly used to fix this problem. Based on what we gathered, there are several common scenarios that are known to lead to this issue:

  • Vmnetbridge.sys is glitched – As it turns out, this particular issue can occur in those instances where the service responsible for the bridged mode is incorrectly started or remains in a ‘limbo’ state. In this particular case, you can resolve the issue by running a couple of commands in an elevated Command Prompt.
  • WMware picks the wrong virtual network – If you leave VMware to choose which virtual network to use for the bridging mode, chances are it will end up using one without an active connection to the internet- which ends up producing this problem. One way to fix this issue is to set up a specific virtual network that you know is working.
  • Wmware is bridging to the wrong adapter – If you leave the Bridging settings to Automatic, this issue will occur if VMnet0 ends up Bridging to a network adapter that is not currently maintaining your internet connection. You can rectify this issue by choosing the bridging adapter manually.
  • Too many unnecessary adapters – Vmware is not very good in selecting the ideal host network adapter that should be used for the bridging mode. Fortunately, you can ensure that the software doesn’t pick the wrong one by removing all unnecessary adapters from the Automatic Bridging list.
  • VPN client is interfering with VMware – There are several VPN clients (particularly Endpoint Remote Access VPN) that are known to interfere with the bridging feature on VMware. If this scenario is applicable, you can resolve the issue by uninstalling the VPN client from the host machine.
  • VirtualBox adapters are interfering with VMware – As several users have reported, this particular issue can also occur if you previously used VirtualBox (before making the switch to VMware) If the network adapters used by VirtualBox are still being used, you’ll need to disable them in order to resolve the issue in VMware.
  • Windows update broke the bridging feature – If you update to Windows 10 build 1703 or above while VMware is installed, the update used will end up deleting a couple of registry keys that are essential to the bridging feature. In this case, you can resolve the issue by reverting the settings of the Virtual Network Editor to the default.
  • 3rd party firewall is blocking the bridging feature – There are several AV suites that include a firewall (most commonly AVG and BitDefender) that are known to cause this particular issue. If this scenario is applicable, you can either use the built-in solution to allow virtual machines through the firewall or disable the firewall altogether.

Method 1: Rebooting Vmnetbridge.sys via admin CMD

VMnetbridge.sys (VMware Bridge Control) can also cause this particular problem in instances where the file is incorrectly started or becomes glitched before it can facilitate communication between the host machine and the guest computer.

If this scenario is applicable, chances are you will be able to resolve the issue by essentially restarting the bmnetbridge service via an elevated Command Prompt. Several affected users have reported that this procedure allowed them to fix the problem, as the host and guest machines started communicated the next time a VMware window was launched.

Here’s a quick guide on rebooting vmnetbriddge.sys via an admin CMD:

  1. Make sure VMware Workstation is closed along with any opened guest machine.
  2. Press Windows key + R to open up a Run dialog box. Then, type “cmd” and press Ctrl + Shift + Enter to open up an elevated Command Prompt. When you see the UAC (User Account Control) confirmation prompt, click Yes to grant administrative privileges.
    Running CMD using the Run Dialog Box
  3. Inside the elevated Command Prompt, type the following commands in order and press Enter after each one to restart the VMnetbridge service:
    net stop vmnetbridge
    net start vmnetbridge
  4. Once the VMNetService has been restarted, close the elevated command prompt, re-open VMware workstation and mount the virtual machine that you we’re previously encountering issues wit.

If the issue is still not resolved and you’re still encountering the same Bridged Network problem, move down to the next method below.

Method 2: Using a specific virtual network (VMnet0)

Several affected users have reported that for them, the issue was resolved entirely after they configured their WMware workstation to use a specific virtual network (VMnet0). As it turns out, if you leave the Network connection to Bridged, there’s a chance that the program will use the wrong one.

In the vast majority of cases, VMnet0 is the correct virtual network that needs to be used in this case. Here’s a short guide on how to program VMware to use a custom virtual network (VMnet0):

  1. Open VMWare Workstation, right-click on the virtual machine that you’re having issues with (from the left-hand menu) and choose Settings.
  2. Inside the Virtual Machine settings, select the Hardware tab. Then, select Network Adapter from the device list.
  3. With the network Adapter selected, go over to the right-hand and click on the toggle associated with Custom: Specific virtual network.
  4. Then, use the drop-down menu below to select VMnet0 from the list of specific virtual networks.
  5. Click Ok to save the configuration, then launch the virtual machine again and see if you’re now able to connect to the internet with your virtual machine.

Configuring VMware Workstation to work with VMnet0

If the issue is still not resolved and you’re still having issues with the network bridge in VMware Workstation, move down to the next method below.

Method 3: Deselecting all adapters besides the physical network card

If you’re using Workstation Pro, and you’re experiencing no network connectivity inside your virtual machines while using a bridged connection, you will be able to resolve the issue by using the VMWare Virtual Network Editor to deselect all network adapters that are not essential to the network connection.

Several affected users have reported that the host machine and the guest machine started sharing the internet connection moments after this modification was conducted.

Important: This method will only be applicable if you’re using VMware Workstation Pro. The steps below can’t be replicated on VMware Workstation Player!

Here’s a quick guide on how to do this:

  1. Open VMware Workstation PRO and use the ribbon bar at the top to go to Edit  > Virtual Network Editor.

    Accessing the Virtual Network Editor from within the application

    Note: You can also close VMware Workstation completely and use the windows search function (press the Windows key) to search for VMWare Virtual Network Editor.

  2. Inside the Virtual Network Editor, click the Change Settings button at the bottom of the screen.
  3. Since the issue is most likely occurring because the bridge adapter is confused, let’s make things clearer, by selecting Vmnet0 from the list of virtual networks and changing the Bridge to option from Automatic to the network adapter that you’re currently using (in this case, the wireless network adapter).

    Changing the bridged adapter from Automatic to the one that is currently active
  4. Restart your VMWare Workstation virtual machine and see if the issue has been resolved.

If you’re still encountering the same problem or this method wasn’t applicable to your particular scenario, move down to the next method below.

Method 4: Removing all unnecessary host network adapters

If you’re using VMware Workstation Player (the free version) and the method above wasn’t applicable, this is how you can do it from the free version. In the vast majority of case, the error occurs because the software has a lot of host network adapters to choose from when having to pick one for the bridged network connection.

Often times, the software ends up choosing a network adapter that can’t facilitate a connection to the Internet, which ends up creating the issue that is discussed in this article. If this scenario is applicable, you can resolve the problem quite easily by making sure that the host adapters that are not necessary for this procedure are removed from the Automatic Bridging Settings menu.

Here’s a quick guide on how to do this:

  1. First things first, we need to start by discovering which network adapter is being used for our current connection to the Internet. This first step is essential as it will help us discover which host network adapters need to be discarded later on.
  2. Press Windows key + R to open up a Run dialog box. Then, type “ncpa.cpl” and press Enter to open up the Network Connections menu.
  3. Inside the Network Connections menu, see which network is currently being used. You can spot this by looking at which entry has the green signal icon. Once you spot the active network connection, see which network adapter is being used for it. You can see this directly under the name of the network – in our case, is Qualcomm Atheros AR9285.
  4. Now that you know the host network adapter that should be used, open VMware Workstation, right-click on the virtual machine that you’re having issues with and choose Settings.
  5. Inside the Virtual Machine Settings screen, select the Hardware tab, then choose Network Adapter from the list below.
  6. With the Network Adapter device selected, move over to the right part of the screen and check the toggle associated with Bridged (under Network connection). Then, click on the Configure Adapters button.
  7. In the Automatic Bridging Settings menu, uncheck everything except for the host network adapter that you’ve uncovered at step 3.
  8. Click Ok to save the configuration, then launch the virtual machine and see if you have a working bridged network connection.

Removing all unnecessary host network adapters

If you’re still encountering the same problem, move down to the next method below.

Method 5: Removing VPN client from the host machine

As it turns out, this particular issue can also occur if you’re actively using a VPN connection to protect your anonymity on the web. Several affected users have reported that the bridged connection started working as expected as soon as they uninstalled their VPN client.

Note: If you’re keen on using a VPN client, you can try different providers until you discover an option that doesn’t conflict with VMware Workstation. In most cases, the VPN client that is reported to conflict with VMware workstation is Endpoint Remote Access VPN, but there could be others.

Here’s a quick guide on uninstalling your VPN client in order to resolve the bridged network issue:

  1. Press Windows key + R to open up a Run dialog box. Then, type “appwiz.cpl” and press Enter to open up the Programs an Features screen.
    Type appwiz.cpl and Press Enter to Open Installed Programs List
  2. Inside the Programs and Features screen, scroll down through the list of applications and locate the VPN client that you’re currently using.
  3. Right-click on your VPN client and choose Uninstall. Then, follow the on-screen prompts to complete the uninstallation.

    Uninstalling the VPN client
  4. Once the VPN client is uninstalled, restart your computer and see if the bridged connection issue is resolved by launching the same virtual machine that was previously giving you trouble.

Method 6: Disabling all VirtualBox network entries from Networking Connections

If you’ve been previously using Virtual box, keep in mind that you might be encountering issues if you make the switch to VMware (bridged mode). As it turns out, the adapter/s that are left behind by virtual box might cause problems with bridged connection inside VMware.

If this scenario is applicable to your current situation and you want to use VMware, there are three ways forward:

  • Uninstall VirtualBox along with an adapter that was used by the software.
  • Start using NAT with VMWare
  • Disable every network entries belonging to VirtualBox from the Network Connections menu

Since this guide is about helping you use a bridged connection with VMware Workstation, we are going to focus on the third option since it’s the least intrusive. Here’s a quick guide on disabling all VirtualBox network entries to resolve the birding feature on VMware:

  1. Press Windows key + R to open up a Run dialog box. Then, type “ncpa.cpl” and press Enter to bring up the Network Connections tab.
  2. Inside the Network Connections tab, right-click > Disable on every network adapter belonging to VirtualBox.  You might have one or you might have several different adapters, depending on how extensively you used VirtualBox‘s features.
    Note: If you’re prompted by the UAC (User Account Control), click Yes to grant the necessary permissions to disable the virtual adapter.
  3. Once every VirtualBox adapter has been disabled, open VMware, launch the virtual machine that was previously giving you problems and see if the bridging features is not working.

Disabling every VirtualBox adapter

If you’re still encountering the same problem, move down to the next method below

Method 7: Restoring Virtual Network Editor settings to the defaults

As it turns out, there’s one particular Windows 10 build that breaks the bridged connection feature on VMware Workstation. As it turns out, if you update to Windows 10 built 1703 or above while WMware is installed, the network bridging feature will become unusable unless manual action is conducted.

This happens because this update deletes a couple of keys (VMnetDHCP and VMware NAT Service) which ends up effectively breaking the bridging feature inside VMWare Workstation. But as it turns out, you can rectify the damage very easily by forcing VMware to recreate the two registry keys by restoring the settings of the Virtual Network Editor to the default.

Note: The steps below are only applicable for Vmware Workstation PRO users and can’t be replicated on VMware Player.

Here’s a quick guide on how to do this:

  1. Open File Explorer and navigate to the following location:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\VMware\VMware Workstation\vmnetcfg.exe
  2. Once you get there, right-click on vmnetcfg.exe and choose Run as Administrator.
  3. Once you manage to open the Virtual Network Editor with administrative privileges, click on Restore Default, and then click on Apply to save the changes.

    Restoring the Virtual Network Editor settings to the default
  4. Restart VMware workstation and see if the bridge mode is working as intended.

If this method wasn’t applicable or you’re still encountering this particular issue, move down to the next method below.

Method 8: Allowing VMware virtual machines from AVG’s firewalls (if applicable)

As it turns out, this particular issue can also occur if you’re using a 3rd party security (which includes a firewall) that is overprotective with the network connections that it manages. Several affected users have reported that they managed to resolve the issue after discovering that AVG firewall ( or a similar security solution) is responsible for their bridged mode problem in VMware.

Update: It seems that this issue can also be caused by Bitdefender’s firewall. Since BitDefender doesn’t include an option that will allow virtual networks through their firewall, the only way, in this case, is to disable the firewall completely.

If this scenario is applicable to your current situation and you’re using AVG Internet Security, you can resolve the issue swiftly by modifying AVG’s advanced settings to allow all virtual machines and traffic. Here’s how to do this:

  1. Open Avast Internet security and go to Settings > Expert Mode > Advanced Settings.
  2. Inside the Advanced settings menu, ensure that the box associated with Allow any traffic from/to virtual machines supported by firewall is checked.

  3. Click Apply to save the current configuration.
  4. Restart VMware and see if the issue has been resolved.

Note: if you’re using a different security suite and you think this method might be applicable, search online for specific steps on how to allow your virtual networks according to the firewall that you’re using.h

В VMware на Windows 10 Pro есть несколько разных машин: Windows 10, Ubuntu, Android 9. Все соединены с сетью типом Bridge, но ни одна ВМ не может общаться с хостом (ping, ssh, открытие html странички или другой тип соединения), на котором она запущена. Также и хост не может общаться ни с одной ВМ на нём.
Тем не менее, все ВМ и хост имеют выход в интернет и могут общаться с остальными машинами в локальной сети, которую обслуживает роутер ASUS AC1200 (с последней прошивкой 3.0.0.4.380_10931). В роутере хост и все ВМ отображаются отдельными машинами со своими MAC-адресами, всем им назначены свои статические IP внутри сети, изоляции устройств нет.

Что я пробовал и другая инфа:
1. Пробовал гуглить и яндексить это, даже дальше первой страницы. Во множестве обсуждений похожей проблемы предлагают включить тип соединения Bridge в настройках ВМ, что у меня итак включено. Репликация состояния хостового сетевого адаптера ничего не даёт в моём случае.
2. Во множестве других обсуждений проблема только односторонняя, когда из ВМ не пингуется хост или наоборот. Обычно это связано с брандмауэром и тонкостями Windows 7. У меня же нет связи в обе стороны, используется Windows 10, а отключение брандмауэра на хосте и ВМ Windows ничего не даёт, как и включение правила пингования ВМ.
3. В ещё нескольких обсуждениях проблема прям такая же, как у меня, но нет решений, которые мне бы помогли.
4. Также в обсуждениях предлагают в редакторе виртуальной сети VMware для VMnet0 указать конкретный сетевой адаптер — делал, не помогает. Даже пробовал разные сетевые адаптера (об этом в пункте 7).
5. Ещё предлагается в настройках ВМ вместо типа Bridge указать NAT — попробовал, и даже всё заработало: хост и ВМ на нём могут общаться по любому протоколу и пинговаться. Но NAT (как и частная сеть только между хостом и ВМ) — не мой случай, мне не подходит такой вариант, где ВМ будет за NAT. К тому же, получается я зря в роутере настраивал правила проброса портов в ВМ, статические адреса для ВМ и другое. Дублировать и следить за этим в настройках VMware — не вариант.
6. Windows Sandbox может общаться с хостом и наоборот, но эта песочница находится за своим NAT. Так что это тоже самое, что в предыдущем пункте.
7. Попробовал в редакторе виртуальной сети VMware задать на какой-нибудь VMnet10 (к примеру) другой сетевой адаптер (Wi-Fi), а потом в настройках самой ВМ выбрать конкретно это подключение (VMnet10). В таком случае связь между хостом и ВМ работает, потому что хост выходит в сеть через один сетевой адаптер (Ethernet), а ВМ через другой (Wi-Fi). Однако, если и хост и ВМ будут выходить через один сетевой адаптер, будь то Ethernet (VMnet0) или Wi-Fi (VMnet10), то проблема возвращается и связи между ВМ и хостом нет. Такое решение мне тоже не подходит, т.к. у меня нет возможности всегда использовать сразу оба сетевых адаптера.
8. Посмотрел записи ARP на хосте (arp -a -N <сетевой интерфейс сети роутера>) и на Ubuntu (ip n), в них все нужные машины (включая хост и ВМ) отображаются, MAC-адреса передаются верные, хотя общаться между собой они не могут (только ВМ и хост, а с другими машинами могут).
9. Кроме того, если я попытаюсь соединиться из хоста с ВМ (или наоборот) не через локальную сеть, а через интернет (с помощью проброса портов), то всё успешно работает. То есть связь не работает только внутри локальной сети, только между хостом и любой ВМ на хосте, только если ВМ соединено типом Bridge, и только если хост и ВМ используют одинаковый сетевой адаптер.
10. Раньше хост и ВМ могли общаться нормально, где-то месяца 3+ назад. С тех пор я ВМ не пользовался, но переустанавливал винду, а вместе с ней и VMware, даже обновился до 16 версии. Однако, сетевые настройки винды не трогал, включая настройки роутера. У меня нет идей о том, что могло спровоцировать данную проблему.

Прилагаю скрины настроек сетевого адаптера на хосте (у адаптера Wi-Fi тоже самое):

Возможно всё же я где-то накосячил, но не могу понять где. Прошу вашей помощи.
