I can google for it, but if you know the patch KB# that’s be very helpful for 
it.

Before I thought it was because we were running VM version 8 machines with 2012 
where you’re supposed to have version 10 machines.  But we updated all of the 
VM versions and Vmware tools and we thought it was fixed but it wasn’t.

We the same problem with our 2008 servers. There is a MS fix/patch that 
sometimes fixes the nic. Else we just disable and reable the nic.
We use the vmx3net nic and vmtools are not always up-to-date.  It is very hard 
for us to get down time just to update vmtools.

What vNICs are you using? (E10000 or vmxnet3?) Tools up to date? vSwitch 
settings? (Disabling MAC changes, promiscuous mode, etc?)

Hello Everyone,

I have an annoying problem that’s been vexing us for months now.

All our servers are virtualized with static IPs running on VMware hypervisors.

The servers that have connections to more than 1 ip  sometimes drop their 
connection.

Other machines connected to the same network don’t lose their connection so I 
don’t think it’s the link between the hypervisor and the switch.  It appears to 
be a windows problem.

Anyone else have servers running Windows 2k12 R2 that are connected to multiple 
networks that somehow lose connection randomly from time to time.

If we disable and reenable the NIC then they come back  up but they really 
shouldn’t go down at all.

Ideas?
