I'm using VMware. Ping as well as wget of a small file (like some KB to 1MB or so) work fine, but can't wget a large file like our iso image. wget stops at around 2-10% of progress.
I also failed to git clone a repository from github whose du -sh is around 9MB. It stopped at around 10% progress or so. I'm not sure if 4.5 was working on VMware.
