Vmware Workstation No eth0 after Windows 10 Update.

Hi to everyone,
As you know we update this blog whenever we encounter any issue and solve it after hell of trying.

So today we will talk about Vmware and no IP/ no eth0 problem.


The Problem which I faced was when I updated my windows 10 Wifi driver because it was causing some issues whenever I wanted to connect to some new WIFI network it always gives me errors like cant connect, so I had to update the Wifi driver.
As I updated my driver I came across this problem that All the *nix (Linux/Unix) VMs in my VMWARE workstation 12 stopped working. But my windows VMs were working fine.

As simple ifconfig commands only shows the loopback interface and no eth0 interface.
i tried to run ifconfig -a  than it showed the eth0 with no IP address assign to it.

If u having the same problem, below solution can help you.

1st u have to login your *nix machine as root or you can do sudo and than perform below steps

Step 1:
leafpad /etc/network/interfaces 
or
if u dont have leafpad you can use VIM  or Nano to edit the interfaces files

Step 2:
Check if there is any auto eth0 written in that file. I am sure there wont be any auto eth0.

Step 3:
Write below 2 lines in interfaces file and save it.

auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp

Once you save this file, write below command in your terminal/shell

service networking restart

If all done well, type ifconfig and you will be able to see eth0 there with IP address assigned to it. Please note that if you change your VM setting from NAT To bridge or vise versa you have to run this command again (service networking restart) to get the updated IP.

Thanks
