\n\tHello,\n<\/p>\n

\n\tOn the VMWare ESXi server you can specifiy your network card driver when adding a network device to your virtual machine, but once installed you cannot change it through the GUI. So here are a few steps to make the change simple:\n<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. \n\t\tLogin to ESXi server through your terminal\n\t<\/li>\n
  2. \n\t\tGo to your VM folder\n\t<\/li>\n
  3. \n\t\tConnect to your VM and shut it down.\n\t<\/li>\n
  4. \n\t\tOpen your VM .vmx file with vi<\/em>\n\t<\/li>\n
  5. \n\t\tLook for the line ethernetX.virtualDev <\/em>(X: interface number)\n\t<\/li>\n
  6. \n\t\tChange this value to vmxnet<\/em> or vmxnet3<\/em>\n\t<\/li>\n
  7. \n\t\t\u200bSave file and restart your virtual machine\n\t<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    \n\tRemark:<\/u>
    \n\tUsually you need to install the vm with another driver because vmxnet<\/em> is not installed on an operating system per default. Before you can use the driver you must install VMWare Tools. It is important that you shut down the VM otherwise your modified .vmx file will be overwritten.\n<\/p>\n
