Networking is broken in my VMware 10.0 VMs after upgrading to Windows 8.1
- by Michael Geary
I have a VMware Workstation 10.0 installation with several virtual networks including the default host-only and NAT networks.
After upgrading to Windows 8.1, the NAT network was not working. I booted an Ubuntu VM with the default network setup that was previously working, and it sat for a long time during startup saying it was waiting for the network. After it finally started up, an ifconfig showed no IP address for eth0.
How can I fix the broken network?
