Restart VMTools. If that doesn't work then go in and disable IPv6. <br />
Did you install the GUI with Linux or only CLI?

GUI with Linux installed.<br />
How to disable IPv6?
</div>


<div>
Restart VMTools means restart the guest VM?<br />
Thanks.
</div>


<div>
It stated &quot;Ignore&quot; in IPv6 settings. I just ran VMWare updates (current VM version: vmx-10)and reboot the guest but still same issue.
</div>


<div>
still saying &quot;No network connection&quot;
</div>


<div>
In the setting of the VM itself, it the vNIC set to be connected and connect on power on.
</div>


<div>
Do you have any network card installed?<br />
By default oracle linux comes up with network down. You need to edit /etc/sysconfig/network-scr<wbr />ipts/ifcfg<wbr />-eth0 and change ONBOOT to yes, Then network will come up (service network restart // can save a reboot)

Greeting,<br />
I took a snapshot of this VM(Oracle Linux 6.5) last month when all the installation was done. The nework connections was working when I took the snapshot. Now when I rolled it back to that snapshot, it says no network connections. All the network configuration is still there. <br />
By the way, it shows IP Address: fe80::250::56ff:Fead:xxxx now from the vSphere client guest view.<br />
How to fix it?<br />
Thanks.

Network connection issues on Oracle Linux 6.5 VM

Linux is a UNIX-like open source operating system with hundreds of distinct distributions, including: Fedora, openSUSE, Ubuntu, Debian, Slackware, Gentoo, CentOS, and Arch Linux. Linux is generally associated with web and database servers, but has become popular in many niche industries and applications.

VMware, a software company founded in 1998,  was one of the first commercially successful companies to offer x86 virtualization. The storage company EMC purchased VMware in 1994. Dell Technologies acquired EMC in 2016. VMware’s parent company is now Dell Technologies.

VMware has many software products that run on desktops, Microsoft Windows, Linux, and macOS, which allows the virtualizing of the x86 architecture.  Its enterprise software hypervisor for servers, VMware vSphere Hypervisor (ESXi), is a bare-metal hypervisor that runs directly on the server hardware and does not require an additional underlying operating system.
