OK, bit of a complicated one.
I run VMWare Fusion on my MacBook. I have an Asus 5300 which is on 380.68.4.
On this MacBook I have a Windows 10 VM. When connected to the Asus, the Windows 10 VM does not pick up an IP address if I set the NIC on the VM to autodetect and DHCP.
This means that the Windows 10 machine should act as a separate device on my local LAN.
If I set the NIC on the VM to NAT traffic via the MacBook, it works fine but it is obviously not on the same LAN as my other devices and is Natting via my MacBook.
Also, if I assign a static IP to the Windows VM in autodetect mode, then it works and appears on my LAN. So, DHCP appears not to be passing through to the Asus somehow.
I know it is the Asus and probably the firmware on it because:
1) It has worked before on previous firmwares - not sure which version but if needs be I can keep downgrading until I find it
2) It works if I connect to Wifi networks other than on my Asus, it even works off a hotspot on my phone
Now my next step is to Wireshark it and see what is happening to the DHCP traffic and what the Asus is doing to the DHCP requests my Windows 10 VM is sending to it
But, I am hoping someone on these forums may be able to save me a lot of time if they have experienced this particular issue or have any ideas.
I have looked through all the Web Interface settings and can see nothing which would appear to solve this.
Thanks!
Adrian.
