  • 1.  No network Adapters Detected

    Posted Mar 04, 2016 03:07 PM

    I am trying to install VMware-VMvisor-Installer-5.5.0-1331820.x86_64 in VmWare Workstation 10.0.1 but got the error

    "NO NETWORK ADAPTERS

    No network adapters were detected. Either no network adapters are physically connected to the system, or a suitable driver could not be located.

    A third party driver may be required.

    Ensure that there is at least one network adapter physically connected to the system before attempting installation. If the problem persists consult the VMware knowledge Base."

    I have tried several options like using this link "ESXi 5.x Installation On Intel NUC Fails With “No Network Adapters” | Virten.net" but still got the same error. Please i need help.

    Welcome to the Community,

    make sure that while creating a custom VM that you select ESXi 5 as the guest OS. This will configure virtual "E1000" network adapters which should be detected by the default ESXi image.

    If you want you can also change the current VM's settings by editing its configuration (.vmx) file and adding:

    ethernetN.virtualDev = "e1000"

    (where N is the number of the network adapter).

    Make sure you make the chages with the VM's tab (or VMware Workstation) closed, so that the configuration file is re-read after editing it.
