BBLV Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 I accidentally disabled my network adapter inside my Win10 VM and was immediately disconnected from RDP. How can I re-enable the VM's network adapter and reconnect? Quote Link to comment
AnnabellaRenee87 Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 Swap your video adapter to VNC and re enable it in the browser with another computer/phone/tablet. Reassign your video card when you're done.I think you can even do it in GUI mode.Sent from my SM-G975U using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment

I was able to check the network adapters and it was re-enabled. However, when I stopped the VM and added the graphics card back in, I'm getting the same RDP connection error for some reason.

BBLV Posted November 2, 2019 Author Share Posted November 2, 2019 Guess my only solution is to rebuild my VM? Thankfully it's not too big of a hassle at this point. Just wish I was better versed in troubleshooting these types of issues. Quote Link to comment
bastl Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 @BBLV you can try to change the type of network adapter in the xml from the default <model type='virtio'/> to <model type='vmxnet3'/> Just an idea. I predict windows will detect it as a new adapter. Other option would be to change the mac address of the existing nic. Quote Link to comment

Then changed the model type in XML and again, no luck 😢 Edited November 3, 2019 by BBLV Quote Link to comment
