[QUOTE="simmerskool, post: 1055932, member: 61091"] update to above re fixing the VM connection: above weblink very helpful for me -- item 6) on that page if Bridged change to NAT, or visa versa. I was Bridged and changed to NAT and I now have the VM connection back :D VMw_link also suggests reinstalling VMware to correct any anomalies, (see my post #1 above). Have not reinstalled VM 16.2.5 yet, and still network adapter is NAT, had run it Bridged the past several months (not sure it will connect if set to Bridged) In the meantime, which network adapter setting provides the best or optimal isolation between the Host and Guest? Bridged, NAT or other, if other please delineate, or provide link. I may have known this, but I forget... :oops::rolleyes: EDIT so after following url link steps 6 7 & 8, I switched back to Bridged (automatic) and now Bridged [U][B]is[/B][/U] WORKING. :D:geek: but still the question, for best isolation, bridged, nat or other... thanks [/QUOTE]
