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).

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?
