I'm using Win7 x64 as a host and Win XP and Ubuntu VMs. I have been using VMWare Player without any issues until a few days ago, when I suddenly started having problems where I couldn't connect to the internet. Sometimes the guest can connect but not the host. Sometimes the host can connect but not the guest. Sometimes they can both connect.
I don't recall anything being changed on the host OS, guest OSes, or the router that would have resulted in this. I have tried changing the router settings, changing the networking settings in windows and vmware and the guests, and have even reinstalled Windows, all to no avail. I also tried VirtualBox, but the guest OS couldn't connect using that either.
When I can't connect to the internet (from either host or guest) I can still successfully ping 8.8.8.8.
When I log into the router and view connections, it will only ever show one connection, with the MAC address of the physical (wireless) network adapter of my PC. Sometimes the IP address shown will be the host OS, sometimes it will show the IP of the guest OS.
Any ideas on how I can get this fixed?
