No Network Adapters after Physical to Virtual Conversion of an NT4 Server

[Kevan]

All

We have used VMWare Converter to convert an NT$ SP6a server to a Virtual Machine.

The Conversion has worked apert from the fact that we can not get this server onto the network as it is not showing any Network Adapters.

We have installed VMWare tools.

Can anyone tell me how to get this NT4 virtual server to recognise a Network Adapter and how to install it.

We are using ESX Verssion 3.02.

Thanks in advance for any help that can be offered.

Bearing in mind that I haven't actually done this! I suggest that you need a cd or floppy with the AMD PC-net network adaptor drivers. Add the drivers to the network configuration and you should see the network connections.

I guess you already added the Buslogic driver to be able to recognise the disks and get going?

If you're still having trouble I'll look for my copy of the drivers. I've a feeling that if you install VM tools - this adds an optimsed driver - anyone confirm?

HAGD ?;^)
