VMWare virtual machines fail to access the network
On computers running Sophos Client Firewall, VMWare virtual machines may fail to access the network.
This happens because Sophos Client Firewall blocks transit packets and this prevents the VMWare virtual machines from gaining network access.
What to do
- Open the Virtual Machine Control Panel.
- Click the Hardware tab.
- Select NIC 1.
- Under 'Connect to the following network', select 'NAT: Used to share the host's IP address'.
