Do you mean whether the guest is VM version 4 or 7? If so, that could be it, as one of those XP guests is version 4. All the new guests are version 7. But like I said, I'm not the primary VMWare guy.
>>> Damien Solodow <[email protected]> 2/24/2011 10:58 AM >>> The tools upgrade does update the NIC drivers, but that's generally trivial. What it might have been is the VM hardware version upgrade that you should do when upgrading from 3.x to 4.x. That can bite you fairly easily.

Something to do with the tools upgrade messing with the NIC drivers, I think, but not positive. >>> Martin Blackstone <[email protected]> 2/24/2011 10:35 AM >>> You will probably need to upgrade the VMWare tools on the guests.
