asked on Windows update hosed the internet connection to my VMs.
Hi experts, all of a sudden my windows VMs couldn't connect to the internet. It says it's connected to "unidentified network - no internet access". I'm using VMWare Workstation for the VMs. Windows server 2012 and 2008 R2 are the guest operating systems that can't get to the internet. I've tried enabling LAN on the servers, switching from Bridged mode to NAT, enabling network discovery...
I'm attaching the results to ifconfig. I've got no default gateway and subnet mask looks weird.
I looked at my system restore points, and it looks like 7 days ago windows pushed a "critical update", and it seems to have wiped out all my previous restore points.
Thanks,
Luke

Ok, here is route print from the windows server 2008 R2 guest!

I expected a persistent route but do not see one to the gateway. What is gateway IP, add it back to config
This is the best money I have ever spent. I cannot not tell you how many times these folks have saved my bacon. I learn so much from the contributors.

I assume it's 192.168.0.1, from this screenshot taken from my host machine. Would you mind helping me add that back to config?

No, I do not know why that happened unless you were just far enough behind for the update to do a refresh update (install) which keeps everything but does clear out restore points. If that happened, no way to get them back.
Livesaver!! <-- Thank you for your kind comment. I really do appreciate it.
