VMWare Platform: VMWare Fusion 6.0.1 (30 day trial)
Guest OS: Windows 8 x64 (patched to latest updates)
Guest Networking: Bridged
Host OS: Mac OS 10.8.5
Host Machine: Macbook Pro Retina (network is over WiFi)
Wireless Router: Airport Extreme 802.11n (5th Generation) - All IPs are assigned via DHCP
Issue: After a few hours, the guest network shows no/limited connectivity. There is a yellow triangle in the system tray which says Limited connectivity and all network traffic in the guest stops. The Host (Mac OS) experiences no downtime.
Work around: Exit full screen mode from guest OS, VMWare fusion host menu => Virtual Machines => Network Adapter => Disconnect and then Reconnect again)
Question: Is there a fix to prevent this bug from happening in the first place? Loss of network connectivity is a pain
