I'm not sure if this is the correct place to post this, but I can't seem to figure out if it's a VMware problem or not. I have an Ubuntu 32bit 8.04 Server runninng with VMware Server 1 installed and running Windows Server 2003 Enterprise edition. The network connection is bridged to the physical interface and I have a cable modem hooked up to the interface. The modem is capable of giving out up to 5 IPs. Whenever there is high load on the connection, either in the VM or the host, the gateway of the bridged interface +in the VM "+disappears." I never have any problems with the host, but I am constantly repairing the connection within the Windows VM. Any statically assigned addresses always stay, for example, I have another connection bridged to my LAN and connected to a router and have assigned a static IP and Gateway, but that interface has no problems.

Personally I would check if another DHCP server was on the network or if VMware was dishing some out before the router can hand it out.

1This could be done with wireshark and monitor for any dhcp requests, then look at the source IP. – Bart Silverstrim Jan 04 '10 at 12:55
