Hi, I saw that your question was unanswered so I forwarded it to our expert at SearchServerVirtualization.com. He said: > Installing VMware tools should install the proper Ethernet drivers, > however you cannot do so with VMware Player (think read-only).

Hope that helps!

What virtualization software are you using? If VMware, did you install VMware Tools? Also, did you try installing the drivers for the host network adapter in the VM?
