Hi all!
Setup:
VMWare Fusion latest version.
Sierra with latest updates (currently 10.12.5) on Macbook Pro Early 2015.
MacBook is running DHCP server (dnsmasq) and NTP server.
Thunderbolt adapter hooked up to a PoE switch.
Several devices powered by PoE on the same switch.
One Windows 7 VM with NIC set to Bridged on the Thunderbolt Ethernet adapter.
Issue:
I recently moved from Parallels to Fusion and i noticed that many times my Windows VM cannot access the devices connected to the switch. I never noticed this when using Parallels. Normally, after a few retries, i do get the connection, but i use this Windows VM for demoing to customers and having to retry multiple times (applications time-out, error messages on the screen, etc) doesn't look that good to a customer.
I haven't begun to troubleshoot, but is this a common issue? Do other also have this issue or is it something with my setup? Again, using Parallels i never had (or noticed) the networking issue.
Thanks,
Ton.
