Win2000 guest WKS v6 - Nic Issues

I do have a curious issue on the nics of a win2000 guest. On both interface I can see bytes received but none are going out. So both don't get an IP from DHCP

To exclude a host os / vmware wks issue, I built an XP machine with both nics and it worked just fine.

I do have 3 win2000 guess and have the same problem on all of them.

Any idea?

Thanks

it's possible that Windows believes that you have moved the network

adapter to a different PCI slot and there is a phantom network adapter

plus a new network adapter.

To view phantom devices

1). At the command prompt, type:

set DEVMGR_SHOW_NONPRESENT_DEVICES=1

2) Start Device Manager.

start devmgmt.msc

3) In Device Manager, click the View menu, and then select Show hidden devices

Remove the hidden network adapter(s)
