Just a heads up, networking issues on VMware Workstation, 17.6.*

HI all. If anyone else uses VMware Workstation 17.6 on Win 11, there seems to be a problem with the latest point release. I was prompted to update yesterday 17.03/25 I can't recall the exact version it pushed. Something like 17.6.3. Should have taken a note. However, following installing, it broke guest connections via bridged adapter to my real network. A major pain as I use SSH from my Win11 host as some of these VMs are headless or otherwise inaccessible. A bit of Googling seems others have had this problem but with earlier builds. I uninstalled and reinstalled 17.6 and disabled automatic updates. Things seem to be working again. Workstation itself doesn't let you downgrade, so you'll have to uninstall and reinstall. Some sighted folk have got this working with nat and host only but as I say, not a solution I can use due to inaccessibility. Cheers Chris.
