VMware Server Fix: Network Connection in Vista (32-bit)

While installing a VMware Server Vista (32-bit) virtual machine, I found that Vista would not recognize the default Network Adapters that VMware installs. After searching the web for Vista-capable drivers for VMware Accelerated AMD PCNet Adapters, I came across this manual fix.

• Navigate to Vista's Device Manager and uninstall all defualt VMware network devices
• Shut down the Vista virtual machine
• Locate the virutal machine's directory
• Right-click the .vmx file and choose "Open With" --> Select Notepad
• Add the following line for all .virtualDev:

ethernetX.virtualDev = "e1000"

(replace X with the number of the .virtualDev)

• Restart the Vista virutal machine
• Vista will then detect/install an Intel Pro 1000 network card. These drivers are built in Vista
