Problem: Linux running in a VM in VMWare Fusion loses network access (sometimes) after a suspend and restart


The symptom is easy to see if you try to access a website from the browser.

After a suspend, the DHCP address can expire. This causes network failing including inability to access interent. It needs to be reset manually:

sudo dhclient
