Host: Win XP running VMware Workstation 8
Single Guest: Win 2003 R2
I've had this setup for years now. I use the VM for running media servers and serving media files. For the last couple of weeks I've been having a problem with the VM no longer responding to network traffic. I takes a few hours for the problem to surface. Simply disconnecting and reconnecting the network interface in workstation is enough to bring it back to life.
The only changes I've made recently are windows updates to the host and guest and upgrading workstation from 8.0.5 to 8.0.6. I tried downgrading back to 8.0.5 but that didn't seem to fix it.
Anybody seen anything like this? Know anything else I can try out to get more details about the problem?
