Hi, I saw that your question was unanswered so I forwarded it to our expert at SearchServerVirtualization.com.

He said:

> transition it back to VMware Player.

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?
