Intermittent Internet Disconnections: VMware Fusion Player Version 13.6.2 (24409261)

    I have recently been encountering intermittent internet disconnections..  I have Windows 11 ARM 24H2 as the guest OS hosted by VMware Fusion Player Version 13.6.2 (24409.

    I believe there is a challenge with the VMWare Tools's vmxnet3 in Fusion as I did not have any internet challenges with Windows 11 ARM 23H2.  

    Your thoughts are appreciated.

    Is the virtual networking set to bridged or NAT (Share with my Mac).

    Have you been able to get the network to re-connect? If so, how did you do it (e.g. did you have to restart the VM, restart Fusion, or some other method)?

    What macOS version are you running?

    What version of VMware Tools are you running in the Windows 11 ARM guest? If it's 12.4.5 (the version that's bundled with Fusion), have you tried downloading 12.5.0 from Broadcom's software download site and upgrading VMware Tools to that release? 

    You might want to post the vmware.log files for your VM where this is happening and a quick support bundle collection so someone from Broadcom can take a look at what might be going on.
