It looks possible. dadtransmits=0 to disable duplicate address checking might be the needed magic. I searched high and low for that.
Last week we replaced my notebook. After Dell replaced the motherboard I had several issues with it, so I'm migrating to a new machine so we can figure out what to report and get the old one back to Dell. The new machine has the same WiFi adapter (Intel(R) Centrino(R) Ultimate-N 6300 AGN) but the problem appears to have vanished. Whether it is updated hardware, updated WiFi drivers, or the fact that I've updated VMWare and VMWare tools, I have no idea. I plan to test with the old notebook after I've finished my transfer.
Thank you! Setting dadtransmits=0 solved my issue with a Windows 7 Enterprise VM. I was using the Intel Centrino Advanced-N 6205 and having the exact same issues as described below, only with a Netgear router.
The issue was very well described throughout this post. I have the same issue.
- Windows 7 virtual machine 64-bit. Ultimate edition.
- Virtual machine bridge to a wireless connection.
- The VM declines the offered IP address because of a conflict with 0.0.0.0.
- The Cisco router receives the message, marks the offered address is conflicting.
- The Cisco router then offers another address
- The virtual machine then declines this address is conflicting
- The Cisco router marks this address as conflicting
- Eventually all available addresses in the pool are marked as conflicting.
- The router DHCP pool is now depleted and no addresses can be offered to other network devices.
- Any network devices which had previously received an IP address, but were powered down past lease expiration, receive an IP address conflict message when they are started up and request to renew their previous IP address.
