Network Bridge Mode Not Working Windows 10 Host

[twistedau]

Running VMware Workstation Pro 14 (14.1.1 build-7528167). None of my guest VM's can contact my host machine, and my host machine cannot contact the guest machines. This occurs when I'm using bridged mode for the guest NIC's. Other machines on my network can contact the guest VM's and the guest VM's can contact other machines on my network; they also have Internet access. This seems to just be guest to host and host to guest communication issues. If I switch from bridged to host only or NAT it works OK. I've tried to uninstall>reboot>reinstall VMware workstation. I've tried resetting the network settings to default in the Virtual network app. I can see the VMware bridge driver on my host machines physical NIC. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling it. I've turned off the firewalls on both machines.

Open a cmd as admin and run

net stop vmnetbridge

net start vmnetbridge

Sometimes that helps

Hi ,

May I know   ip configuration details about  your physical and virtual configuration details.

If possible any filters or policies or vlan details.

I believe that the problem is related to network address mostly.

For example ip address, subnetmask, default gateway,network address, vlan address.

The next step will be related to updates, patches, compatibility, hardware issues.

If you apply firewall you can ping but you can't access internet or other networks.

These commands are invalid.

Don't fill up the forum with misinformation, especially if you are an admin.

The poster said open a cmd as admin (i.e a windows cmd terminal) . You opened a Linux terminal. Those commands are valid.

Try this

1. Add Administrator to the local rights group "Network Configuration Operators"

2. And start Virtual Network Editor" and "Restore Defaults"

Good Luck
