ok, venting time.
VMware workstation has 3 network types and of them only NAT supports ipv6.
VMware 17 can only have one NAT network at a time.
the one ipv6 address that doesn’t randomly drop is the link local address.
but certain traffic like http doesn’t transmit over that network.
but I might have found a janky workaround.
if I change the subnet range in the virtual network editor it refreshes all of the IPs through DHCP.
#endif //RANT
is this a chatbot response? it’s kinda nonsense.
the cost is the hourly rate of updating network code with only half baked virtual networks.
I suspect Microsoft would rather I test on Azure.
