VMware may stop connecting to the internet due to various reasons. One most common issue is that the NAT service stopped working. Windows might automatically stop this service due to various reasons.(Usually during Windows update). The easiest way to fix this is start the service manully in task manager. Steps: 1. Open task manager. 2. Open Services tab. 3. Locate VMware services. Right click and start if not running. Well, I hope in the later versions, VMware checks if the service is running or not automatically and solves the issue :)
