Hi guys!
This is really work! I have Windows 8 guest system, that was installed as "Other guest system" and I had same troubles with network adapter.My virtual network adapter named as "Ethernet controller" had rejected any drivers I tryed to install. I try vmxnet, vmxnet3 to directly install, I try different distributives of VMWare-tools, but drivers don't installed with this network adapter.
Solution of this problem - I opened .vmx file of this virtual mathine in text editor (Notedped++, for example), I found lin
ethernet0.present = "TRUE"
and add after this following line:
ethernet0.virtualDev = "e1000"
and it has began to work!
WoodyZ, thank you very much!!
