vmware 15 linux,VMWare Workstation Player 15 on Linux Host

Hello!

I have a question that I'm wondering if anyone else has seen anything like this.

I recently installed Workstation Player 15.02 on a Linux host (Mint 19, i7, 16 GB RAM). I am running into an issue where ANY virtual OS - Windows or Linux - I use/install has a problem with the virtual network interface in the virtual itself going up and down constantly. It doesn't happen at a consistent rate, but it happens a lot. One thing I consistently see in the VM's log file regarding the interface is this:

vmx| I125: VNET: MACVNetLinkStateEventHandler: event, up:0, adapter:0

vmx| I125: VNET: MACVNetLinkStateEventHandler: 'ethernet0' state from 5 to 7.

vmx| I125: VNET: MACVNetLinkStateEventHandler: event, up:1, adapter:1

vmx| I125: VNET: MACVNetLinkStateEventHandler: 'ethernet0' state from 7 to 2.

vmx| I125: VNET: MACVNetLinkStateTimerHandler: 'ethernet0' state from 2 to 6.

vmx| I125: VNET: MACVNetLinkStateTimerHandler: 'ethernet0' state from 6 to 1.

vmx| I125: VNET: MACVNetLinkStateTimerHandler: 'ethernet0' state from 1 to 5.

I tried ensuring that the Tools were the most up to date, but that didn't seem to correct anything. I know that my host's network interface is fine as I have not seen any state changes from it, nor have I seen any state changes from a virtual Linux host running in Virtual Box (which I loaded as a control test).

If anyone knows of any solutions for this, it would be a great help. Thanks!

Regards,

Ron
