Hi. I have been using VMPlayer which runs as a guest Linux OS on Windows 10 for quite a while.
I applied some Windows updates a couple of days ago which included the new Creator version. Yesterday
when I started my VMPlayer VM machine I received the error as noted above as subject. Somehow I think
the Ethernet adapter settings were changed. I searched the web and found some hits on this which included
step by step instructions on how to install the service - VMware Bridge Protocol under Settings, Network & Internet,
Ethernet. The steps are straightforward and I'm sure I didn't make a mistake. I then stopped and restarted the
VMware NAT and DHCP services. I then rebooted my laptop. I received the same error when I started my VMPlayer VM machine.
I don't have Workstation installed. Basically I'm accessing a Teradata database which runs on a VM guest Linux machine
under VMPlayer.
I'm hoping some VMware users may have seen this issue and may provide me with some advice.. stuck now and
not sure how to proceed with this issue.
I am greatly hoping that I do not have to reinstall VMware since for me that will result in a massive amount of work.
thanks
my env.
EDITION - WINDOWS 10 PRO
VERSION - 1703
