Hi,
I've got the following problem:
I installed an OPSI-appliance on a local HD and networking over bridge works like promised...
BUT
If I mount this vmx containing directory with
<code> mount -t nfs -o soft,rw,timeo=21 nasserver02:/opsi-vm /data/opsi-vm </code>
and try to start the vmx with vmplayer over this NFS-mount
networking won't work...(eth0 no such device )
The Hosting-System is the same on both cases .
I tried this with multiple vmplayer versions and the behavior is alwarys the same ... no network when starting an nfs-mounted vmx-file
If someone could shed a light I would be thankful

I solved this by myself:
on Guest I found an /dev/eth1 and no /dev/eth0
so I changed in the /etc/network/interfaces
eth0 to eth1
and voila it worked.
OR you can
edit the *.vmx something like
#ethernet0.addressType = "generated"
ethernet0.addressType = "static"
#ethernet0.generatedAddress = "00:0c:29:b6:31:48"
#ethernet0.generatedAddressOffset = "0"
ethernet0.Address = "00:0c:29:b6:31:48"
ethernet0.AddressOffset = "0"
but the last solution brings an error on other hosts:
0:0c:29:b6:31:48 is not an allowed static Ethernet address.
Invalid MAC address specified.
Failed to configure ethernet0.

Static MAC addresses need to be in the range 00:50:56:00:00:00 through 00:50:56:3F:FF:FF.
Or, add the line uuid.action = "keep" to the vmx file, then when the VM is started from a new location you will not get the prompt about moved or copied, and a new UUID and MAC address(es) will not get generated.
Hi,
I tried the above mentioned the network-range and it works (no error on startup)
but no /dev/eth* shows up in guest.
my last working *.vmx looks like:
ethernet0.addressType = "generated"
#ethernet0.addressType = "static"
uuid.action = "keep"
#uuid.action = "create"
ethernet0.generatedAddress = "00:0c:29:b6:31:48"
ethernet0.generatedAddressOffset = "0"
#ethernet0.Address = "00:50:56:00:00:01"
#ethernet0.AddressOffset = "0"
with this you have to change the guests /etc/network/interfaces
eth0 to eth1
and restart the network (or appliance)
