Vista - No Ethernet Driver found

Hello Everyone.

I took a perfectly good XP (32-bit) guest and upgraded it to Vista.

Now it says that there is no suitable network driver installed. Any suggestions on how to fix this? I cannot seem to find any drivers out there....

VMWare Workstation version 6.5.0 build-118116 running on a fully loaded 64-bit version of XP. All my other VMs are working great.

Vista guests require the E1000 virtual NIC. Edit your vmx file and change/add the line ethernet0.virtualDev = "e1000".
