Up until today, VMWare Workstation 17.0.1 was working well on my Linux Pop!OS 22.04 laptop quite nicely. Today, two VM's had their networking stop working. About 2 days ago, when I started up VMWare after a reboot, it did tell me it had to rebuild some files, which it did without incident.
When I use NAT, I can get onto the internet form my VM's. But what I want is for it to be able to use the internet AND access my LAN so I can access the various drives. But Bridged networking doesn't work. When I do ipconfig (windows), or ifconfig (linux) on a VM, in Bridged mode, it shows me a IPV6 address assigned but no gateway, and no IPV4 address either.
I tried going to Edit --> Virtual Network Editor, but I'm really not sure what to edit here. Since I have never used this feature before, I wouldn't know what it should look like, but here is a snapshot of the virtual network editor.
Is this something that would be fixed if I upgraded to 17.0.2? I'm always nervous about VMWare upgrades because if they fail, I'm SOL.
