Hi,

I believe this is a problem for *every* single person who uses the
sage-vmware-4.6.zip image.  I wish somebody would fix it.
I think the solutions pointed out below are unfortunately wrong.

You have to edit (in the Linux virtual machine as root) the
/etc/network/interfaces file and add a new interface by adding I think
these lines (then reboot):

auto eth4
iface eth4 inet dhcp

auto eth5
iface eth5 inet dhcp

I don't necessarily expect the above instructions to make sense to a
Windows users.  They would make sense to any Linux user (along with
the info that the root password is "sage" and you use "sudo su" to
switch to root).
