Pedro,
Using vmware and a floppy bootable image for a pcnetfastiii nic.
- file->wizard create a new config for a new vm.
- setting->configuration-editor set floppy to the (file)
eb-5.0.x-pcnetfastpciii.lzdsk
- start vmware with this config
- you may need to tell dhcpd about new mac-addresses (and restart it)
- if you want to run more than one client,
- copy the vmware configuration into a new directory,
add a line like the following to the config file (.vxm or .cfg):
ethernet0.address = 00:50:56:XX:YY:ZZ
(as you may expect each vm needs a unique mac-address
see the text below from vmware for values for XX:YY:ZZ
(in short: 00 < XX < 3H, 00 < YY|ZZ < FF))
again you may need to config/restart dhcpd
start vmware with this config
grtx,
Johan

Changing the MAC Address of a Virtual Machine
When a virtual machine is powered on, VMware Workstation automatically
assigns each of its virtual network adapters a MAC address. MAC stands
for media access control. A MAC address is the unique address assigned
to each physical network device.
The software guarantees that virtual machines are assigned unique MAC
addresses within a given host system. However, the software does not
guarantee that a given virtual machine is assigned the same MAC address
every time it is powered on. In addition, VMware Workstation does its
best, but cannot guarantee, to automatically assign unique MAC addresses
for virtual machines running on multiple host systems.
If you want to guarantee that the same MAC address is assigned to a
given virtual machine every time, or if you want to guarantee a unique
MAC address for each virtual machine within a networked environment, you
can assign the address manually instead of allowing VMware Workstation
to assign it automatically.
To manually assign the same, unique MAC address to any virtual machine,
use a text editor to add the following line to its configuration file
(the .vmx file on a Windows host or .cfg file on a Linux host):
ethernet0.address = 00:50:56:XX:YY:ZZ
where XX must be a valid hex number between 00h and 3Fh, and YY and ZZ
must be valid hex numbers between 00h and FFh. Because VMware
Workstation virtual machines do not support arbitrary MAC addresses, the
above format must be used.
So long as you choose XX:YY:ZZ so it is unique among your hard-coded
addresses (where XX is a valid hex number between 00h and 3Fh, and YY
and ZZ are valid hex numbers between 00h and FFh), conflicts between the
automatically assigned MAC addresses and the manually assigned ones
should never occur.
