Vmware vista licnse policy

I would experience the inability to receive traffic on my VM as well as several networking features turned off in Vista. Bridged Networking became unusable. I did some research and found that the problem was the way that Vista and Windows treat the Network. There is a brand new network stack in these Operating Systems as you may have heard.

If you have 4 VMs, that's 5 instances of Windows. You get the picture. VMware Workstation 11 on Windows Vista. Share More sharing options Followers 0. Prev 1 2 Next Page 1 of 2. Recommended Posts.
