Q: Sudden problem with connection to internet

I run Windows 7 on VM Ware Fusion 6.0.6 on an iMac 2,66GHz Intel Core 2 duo with OSX 10.9.5.

Until 2 days ago everything worked well with my Windows applications and connection to the Internet.

When I now trying to use either Internet explorer, Safari or any other application using the internet I get the message "Computer not connected to a network".

Using the trouble shooter of Windows I get the message "Network cable is not properly plugged or may be broken".

 

I replugged the connection cable on both sides - computer and router - with no result. But this of course is not the source of the problem since the Apple side of my computer shows clearly that I have an Ethernet connection and I have no problem whatsoever to surf, mail or using any other application via Internet.

 

Can anybody tell me how to restore my Internet connection on the Windows 7 side?

 

Thanks beforehand for your assistance

A:

You only have trouble surfing the web within your VM?

Try to disable/enable the ethernet adapter within the VM. If this does not help try to disable/enable it in your VM configuration for this special Windows VM. You can disable the Internet Access within VMs in that config panel. Maybe there is a lack?

    Try resetting the router and the modem, if you have other devices that work still reset the router & modem. Then if the problem persists run Use Mail Connection Doctor - Apple Support per the directions Apple provides.

    I tried this with no success and I don't see how Mail connection Doctor on the Apple support side could be of any assistance as the problem I do have is on the Windows 7 side behind VM Ware Fusion on one of my iMacs.

    Internet connections on all other devices (iMac's and iPads) do work properly.

    Thanks nevertheless.Any other suggestions ???
