I'm running VMware Workstation 6.54 on a Windows 7 host (64-bit). Whenever the host loses network connectivity the VMs never get their connection back until I reboot the machine (which I have to do right after I finish writing this). I've tried restarting the "relevant" services (like VMware Nat Service) but only a hard reboot works for me. Does this issue sound familiar?

I've had some network "goofyness" with VMware Workstation 7 on Win7x64 but haven't ever had to resort to a reboot. At the bottom right of the client window are those little status icons. I just right-click on the network icon and select "disconnect." I wait a couple seconds and reconnect it and that seems to get the client back on track. See if that works for you? | |||||

Been using Workstation since version 5 and never had such a problem. Recently my host PC's network cable had a problem and the connection was breaking several times a day but I never had even to refresh the guests' connections. You should look somewhere else for the source. Some points : Does your guests have the vmware tools installed ? Did you update your host's network drivers (or did you update them recently causing the problem) ? Did you play with the network service settings of Vmware Workstation ? | ||||

If your question is if this sounds familiar, I have an answer: yes it does. I had to reboot about a dozen times per day. In my case it turned out to be a Citrix client installed on the host. Once I got rid of that, my VM never lost its connection again. | ||||
