VM can't get an IP from DHCP server

[Jarey]

I am using ESXi 4 U1. But my VM (Windows server 2008 R2) can't get IP address. Someone help me.

Check if your ESX 4.0U1 host is able to ping gateway and dns server .

Check if the VM has ethernet adapter and is part of a vSwitch

Check if the vSwitch has an uplink to a physical nic/adapter .

Double check your vmnic status is connected. How bout other VMs under same port group?

vcbMC-1.0.6 Beta

vcbMC-1.0.7 Lite

Welcome Jarey to vmware community.

It may be an issue with the virtula adapter. Choose the adaptrer which suites your VM and try again. The following KB may help you in selecting the appropriate adapter.

Thank you everyone for your quick reply.

I am using vSphere on Windows 7.

Host can ping DNS and gateway as well.

I check VM and it has adapter which is part of vSwitch.

But I don't know how to Check if the vSwitch has an uplink to a physical nic/adapter .

Can you tell me?

Good news to everyone!

I just reset my host machine to default and all adapters are working now.

I don't know the reason.

Anyway, the problem gone.
