Add second network card: Windows host posted: Feb 19, 2007 11:41 PM

Hi all,
I've got problem trying to have 2 network cards running at the same time. I guess I am missing something big. Can anybody help?

vmplayer: Windows 1.0.3.34682

Host OS : Windows XP, 2 physical network cards, both running ok.
Every network card is linked to a different vmnet ( 0 & 2)

Guest OS : Linux ubuntu 6.10. I am unable to see 2 network cards. Second one receives: "SIOCSIFADDR: No such device". I only see the one linked to vmnet 0->ethernet0 (I can swap the physical network card attach to it).

I am using the ubuntu (desktop / server) images found at http://isv-image.ubuntu.com/vmware/

I have tried to edit the vmx adding an ethernet1, but no way.
#ethernet0.present="TRUE"
#ethernet0.connectionType="custom"
ethernet0.addressType = "generated"
#ethernet0.vnet="vmnet0"
uuid.location = "56 4d 2d 5d 42 1e e9 a9-bd 23 9b 0b bd ad 8c dc"
uuid.bios = "56 4d 2d 5d 42 1e e9 a9-bd 23 9b 0b bd ad 8c dc"
ethernet0.generatedAddress = "00:0c:29:ad:8c:dc"
ethernet0.generatedAddressOffset = "0"
#ethernet1.present="TRUE"
ethernet1.addressType = "generated"
ethernet1.generatedAddress = "00:0c:29:0b:f1:b7"
#ethernet1.connectionType="custom"
#ethernet1.connectionType = "custom"
ethernet1.generatedAddressOffset = "10"
ethernet1.vnet = "vmnet2"



I had to mark several lines out "#" , otherwise vmplayer does not start "The virtual machine could not be loaded; it could be missing, inaccesible or corrupted"

Can anybody provide good directions? :-)

NOTE: I am able to setup 2 network cards in a real (non virtual) ubuntu.
