Cloning XP VM - Network Problems

I cloned an existing XP VM, no problems. Powered up the new VM, cannot see the network, although settings are all correct. Powered off the clone, powered on the new VM. Same problem!? What am I missing here?

Make sure the Settings of the cloned VM are set to connect the network card.

Make sure your virtual switch has enough ports as well.

Possibly update your vmtools? What version ESX?

I did re-install vmtools, several times, didn't fix anything. Turns out that simply removing the existing NIC and adding a new one worked. Probably a setting I missed somewhere, or a MAC address thing, not really sure. Simple fix was to just add a new NIC and configure that, and delete the old one.
