The network adapter is connected to an local network with a router that assigns IP addresses via DHCP. The adapter inside of the VMware virtual machine is not able to obtain an IP address via the bridged connection to the local LAN. Without the WinPK filter installed on the host machine, the VMware virtual machine is able to obtain an IP address from the router and has full local network/Internet connectivity.
I’ll test with static addresses and get back to you on the results.
