Did you reinstall the vmware tools? I would start there since that creates drivers for the nics. Also, check if you had custom mapping with NIC's which is often the case in larger deployments. You could have mapped something to a virtual nic 4 but on a clean install the virtual nic 4 is not assigned a physical nic.

The VMs have the same NICs, but it happens even if we create new MACs for the NICs in the VM. -----Original Message----- From: Miguel Gonzalez Castaños [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 15 February 2008 16:43 To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Re: 32bit VMs on 64bit platforms Maybe the MACs of the network cards are being messed up?
