Adding a New Virtual Network Adapter to a Virtual Machine
In order to be of use to the guest operating system, the virtual network adapter must be connected to a virtual network. The ''Network Connection'' drop down menu provides a list of virtual networks currently configured within the VMware Server environment. These were either selected during the Vmware Server installation process, or subsequently configured by an administrator. If all virtual network options were configured during installation then ''NAT'', ''HostOnly'' and ''Bridged'' virtual networks should be available for the virtual network adapter to connect to. In the absence of a required virtual network on Linux systems, run the '''vmware-config.pl''' script as super-user and configure the missing virtual network type. Assuming the required virtual network is listed in the connections menu, select it and then choose whether the new virtual network device is to be automatically connected to the virtual machine at power on.
Finally, click ''Next'' to proceed to the ''Ready to complete'' screen and review the configuration summary information listed. if the virtual machine is to be power on automatically immediately after the new virtual network adapter has been added, set the ''Power on your vietual machine now'' option before clicking on the ''Finish'' button. The new virtual machine subsequently power up with the new virtual network adapter installed and, subject to the configuration settings, connected to the selected virtual network. The new adapter will also be listed in the ''Hardware'' panel of the selected virtual machine, together with the name of the network to which it is currently connected.
