[QUOTE="simmerskool, post: 1055930, member: 61091"] EDIT see post #2 below for adapter question, post #1 is background to put it into context. is 16.2.5 build 20904516 still the most stable version for win10 (limited w10 by hardware) I ask because suddenly my VMware lost internet connection, VM systray icon says "unidentified network -- no internet access" -- this came out of the blue, I made no changes and it affects all my VMs, I've located this support page & just started reading, any other insights. Wondering if I should try to fix the network which seem "complicated" as i have no idea what happened, or perhaps upgrade to 17 and see if that fixes this issue... o_O:sick::unsure: I am not even sure exactly where the problem is, VMware, specific VM, router config, &/or isp, other night connection was unusually slow and I got a isp level2 poking around my modem, but did not give him any access into my system, and then VMs lost connection. Local IT friend says the isp tech could not have messed with my system -- a coincidence. Not sure I believe that, but... :unsure: PS my VM network adapter is set to Bridged (automatic) | Bridged connected directly to the physical network. Y'all know what I know && probably lots more...
