I have been successfully working with VMWare Fusion 6.01 (upgrade to 6.02 reverted due to USB Mouse bug) on my 1yr old Macbook Pro. I connect to the network via wifi, but under some circumstances, radio interference in our office space has required me to work "wired" to ethernet. I have not had a problem with bridged networking via WIFI (see attached images). However, with Thunderbolt Bridged connections, the VM is unable to bridge the connection and the VM will only function "Private to My Mac". This is a problem.
Is there something missing in my configuration or is this a known issue with Thunderbolt Bridged ethernet connections?
My .vmx file is below:
