How to Fix Internet Not Working in Linux VMware (Windows 11 VM)

After successfully installing Windows 10 or 11 on Linux VMware Workstation, sometimes it can't connect to the internet, even after switching the Network Connection in the Network Adapter. This makes new users even more frustrated, and some users skip doing such things. So in this blog, I am going to show you how to fix this issue.

1. First of all, go to the VM, then click on Settings.

   

2. Now go to the Network Adapter, in the Network Connection section, switch the Bridge: Connected directly to the physical network to NAT: Used to share the host's IP address, then Save the settings.

   

3. If you still can't connect to the internet, now go to the host system, open the terminal, and process the command to restart the VMware services-

   sudo systemctl restart vmware
   

4. Now, stop the VMware networks, process this command-

   sudo vmware-networks --stop
   

   It will stop all the networks of VMware

   

5. Now, start all the VMware networks again, process this command-

   sudo vmware-networks --start
   

   It will start all VMware networks again

   

6. Now, close the terminal and go back to Windows 11 VMware, and go to the VM, and then go to the Settings

   

7. Here, go to the Network Adapter, and switch the NAT: Used to share the host's IP address to Bridge: Connected directly to the physical network in the Network Connection section, and in the Device Status, tick Connected, and click on Save.
