Hey.

I have just received a new HP Elitebook 850 computer at work, running Win 10 Pro and Vmware workstation 12.5.9. The guest operation system is a Win 7 Pro running TIA V14 SP1 Upd 5.

When i use vmware in bridgemode and go online on my PLC, TIA loses the connection to the PLC after 30 sec or so. After the connection is lost, i can go online on the PLC again, but loses connection after 30 sec and so on.

I can ping the PLC continuously, so the connection is there. If i use NAT there is no problem and TIA can remain online all the time.

I did not have this problem, on my old laptop, a HP Zbook 15 from 2013, or any other laptops running either Win 10 or Win 7.

My co-workers has the same problem, using the same HP model.

Best regards.

Hello

I use also a HP Notebook but with Win7 Host System and I have no such Problems as you describe.

Perhaps you can try to use "replicate physical connection state..." with Bridged; ist here the same issue?

Try to disable Firewalls and Ant Virus Scanner for testing.

Hi AutoGen_5261649,

I have the same problem with VMWarePlayer 14 and TIA V14 SP1 on Windows 7 64 bit.

- Firewall deactivated

- Antivirus deactivated

- Network setting: Bridged

- "Replicate physical Network Connection state" activated

Did you solve the problem?

Thank you in advance

Hi,

I had the same problem with Windows 10 1709. Communication was dropping after 30 seconds of connection.

I have it solved. You need to select 'Custom Adapter'

Then in Host system select this adapter and real network adapter and
Bridge them together.

Works

 But if you bridge those to network cards, it would be a greater security issue.

Hi there,

Check your Bridged configuration of VMware,

Go to Edit / Virtual Network Editor / Change Settings

Then select your VMNet that is on Bridge Mode normally is VMNet0, At 'VMnet Information' normally you have the configuration 'Bridge to: Automatic'

This give me a lot of issues in the past, so the way I solved it is selecting manually the network adapter that I want to used.

At the end on your virtual machine, select Bridged Mode.

Hello,

I have the same problem with my computer:

- HP EliteBook 850, Windows 10 and Vmware 14

Hello

perhaps its a matter of WIn10 Version

On our Test System there runs an older Version  some 16XX and it works in bridged mode.

Has someone current Win10 Version which does ot run on VM with TIAV14/15? Are there also Issues like this?

Bye Murof

Hello

I've hade the same problem. VM has lost connection to 1500 CPU every 30s.

I have bought LINKSYS USB3 to GIGABITE network adapter. I activate it in VM and it works perfect.
