Need to reset virtual NIC daily
I have a Windows 8 workstation that has connectivity issues every morning. Every morning we need to disconnect the network adapter then re-connect it again so the workstation can be accessed by the rest of the network. The workstation is a Windows 8.1 virtual machine hosted on ESXi 5.5. The other guests on the host have no issues. I have tried to delete the NIC and change the type from E1000 to VMX but it did not help. Any idea what may be happening here?
