Hi

I've started having a strange problem the last couple of days with my VMs, I use both VMWare Workstation and VirtualBox on my Fedora 33 system and recently the network connectivity inside my VMs stopped working after some point.

I installed an Ubuntu VM, in VMWare. and was using it for several days without issue and then yesterday I booted up the VM and I could not access the outside work from within my VM. As far as the VM was concerned everything seemed fine, it had an IP address in the expected range there was just no connectivity. I needed to do some work in a Debian based machine so just quickly stood up a new VM, this time Debian Buster. As before it worked fine. However this morning I booted up the VM and encountered the same problem. With this VM I had created a snapshot shortly after standing it up when i knew it was working, so I reverted the machine to the snapshot and again I had no connectivity within the VM.

I then tried VirtualBox, I stood up a Debian Buster VM and booted into it, it worked fine. At some point later network operations stopped working like with VMWare.

Any idea what could cause networking to stop working within my VMs?

I'm using Fedora 33 in a Vmware Player VM, and I haven't had any issues with networking failing. I have the Vmware network definition configured as NAT to share the hosts IP address (my Host is Windows 10), do you have you Vmware Workstation configured the same way? With this setup, irrespective of whether my host is using wifi or ethernet Fedora thinks it is using a wired connection. I'm also not migrating the network card into the VM I'm leaving it attached to the host system.

regards, Steve

Cheers

Thanks, that's exactly the same setup I have, I've also started noticing weird network behaviour outside of the VM and on other systems on my network and I'm starting to suspect a router issue.

It could be an external network issue, router issues are not always easy to detect, if it is indeed a router issue and not a host network issue. I had an issue on Friday on my work laptop (I'm working from home and have been for nearly the last 12 months because of covid, and our work network is not up to scratch) and windows 10 on my work laptop was telling me I was connected to my router but I had no internet access, but while that was being reported I had no issues with zoom chat with remote colleagues working and I was receiving external emails. This was resolved by disconnecting from my home router and reconnecting. Just another thought on this, the issues may also be driver issues, I had an issue some time ago on my work laptop where I could access the internet without any issues even though my laptop was permanently saying my ethernet network connection had no internet access. That was eventually rectified by our support guys but I'm not sure how they fixed it, as patches can be pushed out and applied while we're not logged in, just sitting at the login prompt is enough.
