Network connection issues on Oracle Linux 6.5 VM
Greeting,
I took a snapshot of this VM(Oracle Linux 6.5) last month when all the installation was done. The nework connections was working when I took the snapshot. Now when I rolled it back to that snapshot, it says no network connections. All the network configuration is still there.
By the way, it shows IP Address: fe80::250::56ff:Fead:xxxx now from the vSphere client guest view.
How to fix it?
Thanks.

It stated "Ignore" in IPv6 settings. I just ran VMWare updates (current VM version: vmx-10)and reboot the guest but still same issue.

still saying "No network connection"
In the setting of the VM itself, it the vNIC set to be connected and connect on power on.
Do you have any network card installed?
By default oracle linux comes up with network down. You need to edit /etc/sysconfig/network-scr ipts/ifcfg -eth0 and change ONBOOT to yes, Then network will come up (service network restart // can save a reboot)

Did you install the GUI with Linux or only CLI?
