Error Message reads:
No network adapters were detected. Either no network adapters are physically connected to the system or a suitable driver could not be located. A third party driver may be required.
ESX cannot be installed without a valid network adapter. Ensure that there is at least one network adapter physically connected to the system before attempting installation again. If the problem persists consult the vmware knowledge base.
The system must be restarted.
This is my setup
Intel core I5-760 processor.
Network adapter is onboard - Intel 82578DC Gigabit Network Connection - The adapter is working fine and I went out and got all the latest driver updates from Intel.
I am trying to set up a home lab environment at home to learn and practice with Vm Ware. I appreciate any help that is provided.
Thanks again.
