Mac network settings greyed out
When that happens, Fusion can be restarted, network adapters removed and added again, but it still won't help because from Fusion's perspective, it has no control over low level network settings through those processes, so the settings are shown as being unavailable for editing. I believe this happens because one or more of the low level processes that manage networking for Fusion (the vmnet-* processes) gets stuck or Fusion is otherwise unable to communicate with them.
#MAC NETWORK SETTINGS GREYED OUT UPDATE#
I also wonder if it has anything to do with Cisco Any Connect client that I have - this has carried over from the update from 10.9 to 10.10 - and when I connected to the VPN there was an auto update - though this may not be related at all. The log did reflect that vmnet-bridge is already running.
Ive tried stopping and starting the services. It seems as though just the networking element of fusion is broken - all VMs work fine - I just can change VM settings, or add new VMs due to the same issue. I figured it was a problem just for this VM, but no, all the VMs have the sam issue!Īlso when I go to the Fusion preferences, and go to the network tab - all this is greyed out too. I have done a upgrade to 10.10 and Fusion 7Įverything has been fine, and I created a new custom vmnet, and some VMS - almost had everything working.ĭuring the third VM that I made, I realised I needed to change the network so it was in the same vmnet.Īnyway, in the settings for the network its all greyed out - but all other settings for the VM are fine.
