I have an ESXi server running well and have built a number of VMs using JeOS 8.04, I have started to use VM Explorer from Trilead which is a very cost effective way to manage multiple ESXi servers.

I now want to be able to clone built VMs and use them to create multiple copies of our application environment, VMX allows me to create and register a clone but when started up even though a new UID has been created for the VM it will not start up networking, checking the settings it has a different mac address after the UID create.

What a I missing?
