Thanks in advance for reading.
I am running VMware ESXi 5.5.0 build-2068190 / VMware ESXi 5.5.0 Update 2 and vCenter 6.5 running. I have the latest VMware tools installed on my Windows 2016 Server v10.1.5-5055683 using VMXNET3 adapter. I'm running into an odd issue with my Windows Server 2016 template only. After I deploy the template and assign the IP I need - it will lose it's network connection after about 20 minutes. It's odd because the Network and Sharing center states I have a connection to the internet. If I ping the VM my request times out and I cannot ping anything outbound from the VM.
It get's even weirder. If I change the network that the adapter is set to from Network A to Network B and then back to Network A - it resolves the issue and it never happens again.
Has anyone seen similar issues? Could it be because I'm on ESXi 5.5 using Server 2016 and there's some bug?
Any help is much appreciated.
Thank you
