Problems with NAT in vmware workstation

hi,

 

I have a unlocked vmware 12.1.1 running on ubuntu 16.04.1.

As a guest I have osx 10.11.6

The guest is configured to use NAT

 

Recently I have noticed, that some downloads starts and never completed. I don't get a timeout, it is there just sitting idle.

The connections are there but  no communication take place, other than keep alive.

It doesn't happen in the same place during download, it happens almost always, I have seen it only once to get through.

 

I have noticed it using 'pod setup' and 'brew update'.

 

Neither host, nor other vms with NAT, experience the problem. I am using the same test cases.

If I switch network to Bridge, problem goes away.

 

Changing internet provider, or speed doesn't make a difference.

Changing interface on the host (wifi, lan, tethered iphone) make no difference.

Updating vmware tools to latest version didn't make a difference.

Turning on/off  ipv6 in NAT/guest didn't make a difference.

Now, I made a copy of vm and started upgrade to sierra, you can see, I am getting desperate ...

 

Did anybody experience similar problem?

Any help or comments are greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks
