No network adapters with Windows 8 Host

[Gabrie1]

Hi

Have upgraded my Windows 7 64bit host to Windows 8 Consumper Preview. Workstation 8 was already installed before the upgrade. I can now run VMs fine but they don't have a network connection. In the virtual network editor I'm unable to add network adapters. In the network overview in Windows 8 I can only see a vmnet0 adapter.

Any tips?

Don't know what you Windows 8 host is using for network connectivty..   I usually would experiment with changing the VM's  network from NAT  to bridged or  vice versa.  Hopefully that might work for before going to the Virdtual Network editor.

please open a cmd as admin and type

net start vmnetbridge

what does it say ?

I'm having the same issue. Was working fine on Windows 7, upgraded to W8 CP and now no network adapters work.

net start vmnetbridge = System Error 2 has occurred. The system cannot find the file specified

Did you uninstall WS    before upgrading  the host??

Hi,

Create a new VM for Windows 8. then you check the network adapter. surely it will take.
