Virtual machine losing network connectivity

[mchartier]

Hi everyone,

I have a ESX 3.5 U3 server that is running for testing purposes. On this server we virtualize a Windows 2003 file server with vmware converter. Everything went fine except that every 1 or 2 week, this virtual machine lose network connectivity with all the network. The ESX host is fine and can be reached...all the others VM on this host can be reached...except the 2003 file server that was virtualized...It was a Dell server..so I try to uninstall all the Dell drivers and apps that was on this sever with no succes. When the problem occurs, if I go onto the console of the VM, if I do a ping of a live ip in the network, sometimes I receive an hardware error, and sometime just timeouts...the only way to get the vm back on the network is to do a dirt shutdown...after it, the vm is ok for a week or two..

Any idea?

uninstallation/reinstallation put the same version of the vmtools, but now the speed IS 1 GBPS!

So I hope it will solve the unresponsive nic problem in a weel or two...I'll let you know.

thanks again

Hi

I've got exactly the same problem, our virtual machine is in Windows 2003 and it needs to be rebooted each 1 week beacause it lost is network conectivity. Our network speed for this virtual machine always been 1gbps.

Each time in my system log I get the following error:

The browser service has failed to retrieve the backup list too many times on transport \Device\NetBT_Tcpip_{...}. The backup browser is stopping.

Anybody has a solution?

Thank you

You may need to reset the computer account in active directory. I will try this on a non-DC and report back.
