Have you tried

Edit the .vmx file that you vm uses and add the following line right after the line "Ethernet0.present = "TRUE"

ethernet0.virtualDev = "e1000"

Make sure the vm is turned off.

Check some settings on VM

Medkorp,
check the Network Adapter settings on this Virtual Machine .

  • Network adapter is "connected at power on" ?
  • Network connection , enabled the "Bridged" configuration ?

No dice...

I was thrilled to find this post, but when I went to check the vmx file, those settings were already there.  Any other ideas?
