What to do ?I have tried solving by changing the vmware network settings to default now the ip address os showing only apipa

  1. ipconfig /release releases a DHCP-assigned IP address. It doesn't work for manually configured IP addresses which need to be changed manually. If you want to use DHCP you have to configure the NIC to use a dynamically assigned address.

    If DHCP doesn't work and falls back to APIPA the connectivity to your DHCP server has failed. You should reconfigure the network in Workstation to bridged. That way, the vNIC looks like a second physical NIC to the network and to the DHCP server.
