VMWare player uninstalled but giving IP address conflict

HI,

I installed VMWare player and created a virtual machine e.g. 'abc'. then after using for few days I deleted it and uninstalled VMWAre player. Later I installed a physical machine with the same name of virtual machine e.g.'abc' but its showing IP conflict and there is no IP matching with each other (I check in DSL router) and the only thing similar look is the same name as virtual machine was having. I have noticed whenever I ON the machine which was hosting virtual machines starts giving IP conflict on newly installed physical machine.

Any idea? even VMWare player is uninstalled.

Hi,

entry from Event log
"
The system detected an address conflict for IP address 192.168.1.90 with the system having network hardware address 00:26:C7:F2:61:78. Network operations on this system may be disrupted as a result.
"

yes I can ping it and it gives me machine name "machinename.lan" but that machine is only having name "machinename" and not "machinename.lan" from where its getting .lan?

arp -a showing me a list but in that I cannot see 00:26:C7:F2:61:78

when I do ipconfig /all on my machine where vmware was installed its shows me extra connections with * and media disabled. I removed some Network apaptors like
nata**.lan and .lan{***}
and something psedao (I may not be able to write exact spellings as I remember them little)

but when I restart this machine .lan adaptors again occurs.

one interesting thing when M2 is OFF and I try to ping 192.168.1.90 its give following:

ping 192.168.1.90

Pinging 192.168.1.90 with 32 bytes of data:
Reply from 192.168.1.67: Destination host unreachable.
Reply from 192.168.1.67: Destination host unreachable.
Reply from 192.168.1.67: Destination host unreachable.
Reply from 192.168.1.67: Destination host unreachable.

Ping statistics for 192.168.1.90:
    Packets: Sent = 4, Received = 4, Lost = 0 (0% loss),


any idea i'm pinging .90 but saying .67 not reachable?


should I give try by installing vmplayeragain on M1 and create vm M2 and rename as M2-123.
May be that solve issue?

I assigned the IP of M2 to M1 by making M1 static and M2 now got IP address 192.168.1.70 as its still dynamic and now its saying in event viewer

The system detected an address conflict for IP address 192.168.1.70 with the system having network hardware address 00:22:5F:25:7D:67.


I want to share one surprising thing that whenever M2 restarts its showing confilicting mac address different as shown below from event viewer before changing ip when it was having 192.168.1.90.

The system detected an address conflict for IP address 192.168.1.90 with the system having network hardware address 00:16:D4:F0:9B:32.

after restart

The system detected an address conflict for IP address 192.168.1.90 with the system having network hardware address 00:1F:3A:35:93:C1.

Hi,

I disabled the network card and installed USB Wirelss network point and problem resolved.

I was thinking it may be related to VMWare player but now its proved it was the fault of network card. I was tired of this problem because conflicting mac address I was not able to find anywhere and another surprising thing that on M2 arp -a after restarting the server was showing a very long list of Ips and mac addresses I dont know from it was getting.

anyhow thanks to all who helped me to resolve it.
