Re: Everytime my host network access changes, Fusion restarts the NAT guest networks

It sounds like you're talking about Bridged networking.

 

Imagine a typical home network setup like this:

 

Laptop       -- Wireless NAT Router -- Cable Modem

Networked Printer --^


Now, imagine that the cable modem goes offline for some reason. Now, would you still expect to be able to print from the laptop? Certainly, the laptop and the printer are both on a private network. They won't be able to access the internet, but they can still talk to each other. VMWare Fusion's NAT router doesn't do this. When the cable modem goes away, Fusion brings down the *entire* network. This is the problem I'm trying to solve.
