Few days ago it was working fine but I don't know what happened yesterday it stopped working.The internet connection is fine in windows os but when I open vmware workstation then it won't work.In my network sharing I have vmware network adapter VMNET8 which I have configured for internet connection in vmware workstation as I said it was working fine but now it is not working when I start diagnose it says that the VMNET8 does not have a valid ip configuration and it is on DHCP. I am totally confused what to do.

the changes you have to do in vmnet8 and vmnet1 adapter

Go to your network sharing open the properties of Vmware network adapter vmnet8 and vmnet 1 and mark the bridge protocol than go to there ipv4 addresses and give them the same ip addresses as you have on physical machine and change the vmware machine setting to bridge protocol check out it will work 100%. if you need further detail how to fix your vmvare networking issues follow the link along.vmware bridging and vmnet and nat network configuration
