Re: Problem with VMWare fusion on Mavericks

[Paul Hopewell]

Hello Esther, 
You are a marvel! Many thanks for the attached. I tried your suggestion of 
setting the fusion network adapter to automatic and that fixed my problem of 
fusion 5 on Mavericks not connecting to the Internet. 
My Windows 7 virtual machine takes a long time to boot up but then it works 
reasonably fast. As I seldom use Windows I will not upgrade to fusion 6 at this 
time. 
So many many thanks for the attached and also for your help to access "mouse 
over" items on the sing Chandlers Ford web site. 
Best regards

Paul Hopewell

Re: Problem with VMWare fusion on Mavericks

Hello Paul,

A search of the Apple Discussion forums brought up the suggestion that you 
change the network adapter settings from "Share with my Mac" to "Autodetect".  
Apparently this solves the network connection issues under VMWare 5.03 running 
under Mavericks for many people.  However, there are also reports that some VM 
systems are running with higher CPU usage and fans coming on compared to the 
same systems running under version 6.  These reports seem to vary, so just 
monitor your own performance specs for your Mac.

HTH.  Cheers,

Esther

I would say upgrade to Fusion 6 as perhaps the network infrastructure 
has changed in Mavericks.

I am running Windows 7 via fusion 5 on Mavericks.  It all works fine except 
that I cannot access the Internet via Windows. My fusion settings for network 
adapter say that the adapter is shared with my Mac which I think is correct.

I know that discussion of Windows is off topic but has anyone successfully 
accessed the Internet via Windows via fusion 5 on Mavericks? I wonder if I need 
to change some Mac or fusion setting or maybe upgrade to fusion6?

Many thanks.
