VMware network problem after sleep and wakeup on windows

After putting your windows machine to sleep and waking up, you will most likely find that the networking no longer works. I have encountered this problem on several machines.

Not to fear I have a solution.

Create a windows batch file .bat and insert the following commands. These commands will reset the VMware network adaptor.

net stop vmnetbridge
net start vmnetbridge
pause


You will need to execute the batch file as Administrator

Shameless plug for my fathers online model engine store

My dad's online model engine shop nitrosteamengines.co.uk looks like it needs a bit of an update. It's time to drop oscommerce as good as it's been over the last 5/6 years!
Time to investigate Magento, OpenCart and Zen Cart to see if they will offer a better solution.
