I have been using VB for years, on both macOS (High Sierra 13) and Linux (Ubuntu 16.04) hosts with Windows 7, 10 and Ubuntu 18.04 guests.
Last week I bought a new Macbook Pro 2018 with 16GB RAM and 500GB SSD of which I migrated all data, using the builtin 'Migration assstant', including the virtual machine images and VB settings, from my old 2011 MBP with 8GB RAM and 500GB SSD.
For safety I completely uninstalled VB and purged its settings and kept only the VMs, and reinstalled in again (VB 5.2.20).
But when using the same VDI of Windows 7 on my new MBP I cannot make network connections. Windows refuses to connect to the network. Message is 'network cable broken' which is not the case as the macOS host has normal network and internet connection.
The VM is set to NAT, using en0 (wireless).
When starting the Windows 10 VM, the same issue appeared.
But the Ubuntu 18.04 VM however *does* connect with the network and internet ('apt update' in the VM did work), and I could SSH into it from the macOS terminal.
And the network settings are the same on the Ubuntu VM and both Windows VMs.
I recovered the Win 7 VMware image from a backup disk (which is copied from a Linux host and runs flawlessly on my old MBP as well) but to no avail.
EDIT: When setting network to NAT, it does work normally, but that makes access to the VM (e.g. RDP or SMB) impossible, but 'Bridged does not work,
Does anyone have an idea what the problem is ?
