vmware workstation - cannot change network to bridged

In my situation in Windows 10 running VMware Workstation 11.1, after restoring network setting to default(image 2) from Virtual Network Editor everything gets back to normal and I could get my WiFi internet shared.

  • My VM's network adapter setting is in NAT mode and no extra manual IP were configured for my VM and my Host

  • kindly note that before restoring to default all VMs should be turned off as suggested by the button itself if it is not

  • note that during resetting even VMnet0 with Bridged type which was not present become available too. maybe i have stopped some VmWare services related to this and restoring to default fix the related services too

I have uninstalled kaspersky antivirus and problem solved!


There is no need to uninstall the antivirus, simply go to your Physical network card properties, and uncheck the kaspersky anti-virus ndis 6 filter option.

Thats it....
