VM created in Esxi cannot see network

[Jason_S1]

Hi,

I have installed Esxi 5.5 and I have no problems accessing it and creating a VM.

However, the VM, which is Windows 2012, does not start with a network adaptor.

When I check the VM configuration, the Network adaptor is connected, powered on, E1000E but says DirectPath I/O is not supported. I do not have VMWare tools installed on the VM.

I do not understand where the problem lies. I connect to Esxi ok. I can run the VM within Esxi client ok but the images says there is no network.

I have created Windows 2012 VM's before, outside of Esxi and the built in network card is detected ok.

STOP PRESS - In Windows Computer Management, Devices, the Ethernet Controller is not recognised. So how do I get the VM to recognise it when it is running in ESXI?

Help?

Thanks

Jason

In the VM properties is network card connected? Do you have a check mark for connected and connected at power on?
