Guys, we have an issue where some of our virtual machines lose their IP configuration after a reboot.
It seems like the virtual machine adds a new NIC. The virtual machines are Windows 2003
Is there a fix for this? I've seen it many times before and not just on ESX 3.5 U5 (which is the version we are currently running).
Any ideas?
u can try remove and add new virtual adapter, maybe can back with same ip.

Thanks for the reply.
I was thinking something a little bit more preventative.
i can try add a virtual adpater without remove first adpater.
the ip configured at this adpater that you lose configuration respond a ping ?

No. The virtual machine drops off the network.
It cannot be contacted again until lwe reconfigure the "new" NIC.
at worst you'll have to
put a new adapter and configure the same ip.
it´s possible?
