Host: Win2008 R2 Ent, Guest Win2008. Vmware server 2.01.
Host network works fine – I can browse the Net.
Guest starts up fine, but network is down and says in tray "Cable unplugged". Its in Bridged mode. "Repair" connection gives same result – cable unplugged. I tried moving the VM to a new named folder so it re-assigns MAC since I 'moved' it – still 'unplugged'. IP is set correctly. Any ideas ?
Thanks

Did you configure the virtual network card to be automatically connected at VM startup?
It's quite easy to misconfigure this (I did more times that I like to acknowledge).
