I just used VMWare-Converter to pull off from a physical machine the MS Win OS.
I did not experience any problems, however when I booted the OS in VMWare Server I wanted to setup static IP address for it, and I could not do it.
System complained that there is hidden network adapter with the same(original) IP address already set for different local network adapter.
Quick search on VMWare forums and I found the comment:
First open up a command prompt, then type in:
SET DEVMGR_SHOW_NONPRESENT_DEVICES=1
START DEVMGMT.MSCThis should start up the device manager. Go into View->Show hidden devices. That should show the shadowed out nic card that needs to be removed in the Network Adapters area.
The solution worked like a charm
and now I am up and running.
