VMNET0 is missing from virtual network editor of vmware workstation 10

I have installed VMware-workstation-full-10.0.3-1895310 on windows 8.1. Although VMware brige protocol is enabled in my LAN adapter but still I am unable to add and switch VMNET0 to bridged mode.

enter image description here

It says "Cannot change network to bridged: There are no unbridged host network adapters"

enter image description here

So far I have tried the following things:

  1. I have reinstalled it many times
  2. I have restore default settings of virtual network editor
  3. Have also checked that Vmware bridge protocol is enabled
  4. Have checked that whether vmnetbridge service is running or not

enter image description here

  1. have done almost everything present on forums

I had the same problem after upgrading windows 10. "Repair" VMware workstation version fixed the problem. I'm using VMware Workstation 11.1.3.

I had this same problem also. I also run Kaspersky AV, and tried bigapple99's suggestion and unticked Kaspersky Antivirus NDIS 6 filter. This made the NIC show up in the editor, but didn't fix the problem. I noticed I was running the editor as Administrator when it was showing up, so I tried running VMWare Workstation as Administrator too. It worked! I tried reticking the Kaspersky filter, and reopening VMWare Workstation as Administrator, and it still works :) Best of both works, I'll just Run as Administartor now.

It's wired in network editor the "Bridged To" showing nothing in the drop down list (at least it should show "Automatic"). Can you try to untick the Kaspersky Antivirus NDIS 6 filter in LAN property to see whether your NIC will show up in the editor?

I had the same problem today and I thought I'd come back to you since no one answered your post yet.

My problem was coming from Kaspersky AV.

  1. Remove VMWare
  2. Remove Kaspersky AV
  3. Re-Install VMWare
  4. Re-Install Kaspersky

Hope it'll be of some help. Best, Alex
