seems you are missing network Name but your network seems to be different

Can you create or instpect a working VM in that network and check what you

"vmx_data": {
"memsize": "2048",
"ethernet0.startConnected": "TRUE",
"ethernet0.virtualDev": "vmxnet3",

"ethernet0.addressType": "generated",
"ethernet0.wakeOnPcktRcv": "FALSE",
"ethernet0.uptCompatibility": "TRUE",
"ethernet0.present": "TRUE"
}
