      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;maybe my answer doesn't hit purposes of this forum but: did you already checked following configuration parameters with VMware Support ?&amp;nbsp; &lt;/P&gt;&lt;UL&gt;&lt;LI&gt;Virtual Hardware version: VMXNET3 is supported only for VMs version 7 or later (VMware link: &lt;A href="http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&amp;amp;cmd=displayKC&amp;amp;externalId=1001805" target="_blank" title="Choosing a network adapter for your virtual machine"&gt; Choosing a network adapter for your virtual machine&lt;/A&gt;); which is VH version of your VM ?&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;LI&gt;Did you try to remove and add again VMXNET3 network adapter from VMware VM Hardware properties ?&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;LI&gt;Which is VMware (build) version ?&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;LI&gt;Do you upgrade VH recently? VMware link: &lt;A href="http://communities.vmware.com/message/1659074" target="_blank" title="Upgrading virtual hardware on 2008R2 causing NIC to not load"&gt;Upgrading virtual hardware on 2008R2 causing NIC to not load&lt;BR /&gt; &lt;/A&gt;&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;/UL&gt;&lt;P&gt; Then about Operating System:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/P&gt;&lt;UL&gt;&lt;LI&gt;Which is OS version of your DC ?&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;LI&gt;Did you also try to clean all hidden/orphaned devices:&lt;BR /&gt; &lt;BR /&gt; 1. From Command Prompt type: &lt;STRONG&gt;set show_nonpresent_devices = 1 &lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;EM&gt;(enter)&lt;BR /&gt; &lt;/EM&gt;2. Then launch Device Manager: &lt;STRONG&gt;devmgmt.msc&lt;/STRONG&gt; &lt;EM&gt;(enter)&lt;BR /&gt; &lt;/EM&gt;3. From &lt;EM&gt;View &lt;/EM&gt;menu tick "&lt;EM&gt;Show hidden devices&lt;/EM&gt;" item&lt;BR /&gt; 4. Now you should see orphaned devices (if exist), grayed out: remove those Network cards no more in use.&lt;BR /&gt; 5. Try to remove and re-add VMXNET3 network adapter&lt;BR /&gt; &lt;BR /&gt; &lt;STRONG&gt;Note: &lt;/STRONG&gt;Try also to update VMXNET3 driver from Device Manager manually (Folder: &lt;STRONG&gt;%ProgramFiles%\VMware\VMware Tools\Drivers\vmxnet3&lt;/STRONG&gt;)&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;/UL&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>
