VMware Fusion Windows 10 not receiving DHCP address

[frost012]

Hello,
We have 40 Macs running Win10 Virtual machines in VMware Fusion. None of the VM clients are receiving DHCP addresses but if we set them to static they work. They only have the issue at the office, any other network is fine. The VM's are set to bridge networking so they should be receiving an IP address on the same subnet as the Mac's (192.168.10.x)

Is there a setting to allow these VMs to get an IP address from DHCP?

Works fine here, have you tried setting a MAC address in advanced options ?

Interesting, yes I’ve tried removing the adapter and then re adding and also generating a new MAC address. Very strange. We use a HPE OC20 WAP but it doesn’t handle DHCP. It’s possible it’s somehow blocking it but there’s zero config for that device.

Have you tried a packet capture on the lan interface on the router and looked at the dhcp requests & replies?

Thanks for your responses. I got access to the network room and plugged in directly, no issue over ethernet. This has to be an issue with the shitty HPE WAPs they have. They suck big time. Take care!
