Im kinda clueless with this. I have used Kali prebuilt Image. At first i thought my Kali performance was low because from time to time it freezed (i have a CLI box that i SSH into) but every time it freezed it was because this disconnection.

Edit: I forgot to mention that I'm using a wireless connection for internet in the host.

Edit2: I have tested with a Host-only Adapter and it seems to be working fine. So my guess is that it's related to an issue between my host network adapter and vmware.
