When i convert an XP machine, i enter in the Windows Product Activation process, but network is not working. What can i do i am unable to log on to install vmware tools.
What are you running the VM in? Is it ESX? VMware Server? VMware Workstation? VMware Player? VMware Fusion?
The VM has been made with converter from a physical XP laptop to an ESX 3.02 cluster.
What type of vNic is the current vNic setup as?
You might want to try using the e1000 device type.
Thanks.
The type right now is set to flexible.
How do i change it to e1000?
You might have to modify the .vmx on your ESX.
To be an e1000 vNic, it would read:
ethernet0.virtualdev="e1000"
i have done as you advised but after a boot the type is automatically changed to "vlance"
If you edit the .vmx, and leave it open, VirtualCenter cannot change the adapter type.
So edit the file, and do not close your editor (vi, nano, etc)
While the .vmx is "open" power on the VM, and see if that helps.
That doesnt help, the type is set to vlance even with vi and winscp opened.
