*OverviewVMWare Networking FeaturesVMNet0 (Bridged), VMNet1 (Host-Only), VMNet8 (NAT)DHCP Server settingsDisablingDetermining a restored machines original Static IP

*VMWare adapters???VMNet0 (Bridged)Puts VM world on the live network and VM obtains a DHCP address from the physical networks DHCP server (if addresses are available)VMNet8 (NAT)Puts VM world on the live network and VM shares IP of physical host machine. Does not obtain a DHCP address from the physical networks DHCP serverVMNet1 (Host-Only)Limits networking connectivity of VM world to communication with the host machine and any other VMs running on host machine.

*VMWare Virtual AdaptersHost only (VMNet1) should always be used for restored machinesIf you wish to adjust VMNet1 settings and its DHCP settings

*Temporarily Disabling VMWares DHCP server

*Permanently Disabling VMWares DHCP server

*Original IP address from registryWhich registry ControlSet was last used and/or is the default control set?What cards/adapters were installed?Where they static or DHCP IPs?What were the descriptions of those physical network cards installed?What was the static IP address assigned to the old physical network adapter?

*Windows Registry - Which Control Set???

*Windows Registry Static IP

*Windows Registry DHCP IP

*Right-click on GUID and select rename

Do NOT change anything, just use short-cut keystroke CTRL+C to copy the GUID name into memory.

Select the main top branch of the registry (My Computer)Select Edit/Find from the Registry Editor menuPaste the GUI into the Find what: box using the shortcut keystroke CTRL+V, then click the Find Next button.Hit F3 every time the search stops, to continue the search until you find the physical descriptionWhich GUID is for which adapter???

*Some other registry locations (there are many):HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Network\{4D36E972-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}\{CCC9204F-BBD5-434D-8BBF-9A3592B2BD9A}\ConnectionHKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\{CCC9204F-BBD5-434D-8BBF-9A3592B2BD9A}\Parameters\Tcpip

Which GUID is for which adapter???

*Re-assigning old static IPOnce you find the IP for the old physical network adapter in the registry, assign it to the new virtual AMD PCNet adapter.

*Re-assigning old static IPIf you got the right IP, you will get the below message.The default selection is Yes, but you will click the NO button.

*You are done!!!You may or may not have to reboot the server to restart all server functions (DNS, DHCP, Active Directory, etc.) so they are working correctly.Workstations should now pick up DHCP addresses from the restored DHCP server and be able to communicate with server/client software.

*So why did we do this???Because until you get it configured correctly, these screenshots show the issues relating to services on the server not running until you correct it.

*Questions???Use the discussion board, as usual
