New W2000 guest (my first) no connection to network IP 0.0.0.0
I have just setup my first guest. However It has no connection to the net. Shows IP 0.0.0.0
Its setup to use DHCP.
Ipconfig /renew fail.
The host server are reachable on the net.
I would like the guest to get a IP from my router DHCP server.
(Like the host does)
What am I missing and how do I get it to work?

How can I see if it is bridged or NAT? (ESXi)
Here:
http://communities.vmware.com/message/1129225;jsessionid=EAE509FB36E023B64D11A032E338E31C
They write .vmx should say:
ethernet0.networkName = "NAT"
Or
ethernet0.networkName = "Bridged"
Mine is:
ethernet0.networkName = "VM network"
I tried to change mine to Bridged how ever now it shows "network cabel unplugged".

Based on your first screenshot, you are in bridging your vmkernel and vswitch interfaces.
ASKER
Net setting now shows bridged, but it is not in the option list. Only "VM network".
Could this be the problem - how do i then add bridged?

The term bridging only exists with VMWare server and now ESX or ESXi.
From your screenshot, simply select vm network and this will associate your guest with the vswitch.

Yes it does - but I still only get IP 0.0.0.0 and no connection to the network.
Recreate the VM using existing vmdk and ensure its network adapter is bind to network label "VM Network" and also ensure the device status is "Connected"
