VMware converter: remove hidden networkcard (nic)
If you convert a physical machine to a virtual machine you’ll probably give it the same ip as it used to have. But when you try to modify the ip address in the TCP/IP settings of your vmware nic you’ll get the error that there is an existing NIC with the same IP address settings. This is where your search starts, but you can’t seem to find another NIC in your VM.

Windows 7 BETA in ESXi but no NIC
I finally got myself together and downloaded a beta version of Windows 7 … everybody seems to fall in love with so lets test it. The installation went very smooth, just the way an admin likes it. Not much questions to answer, just a few clicks and it installs itself.
Then it reboots and the login screen appears … you log on … Wauw … not bad at all !
Let’s check out Internet Explorer 8 … POEF … no connection … huh … how come … and then you find your answer ‘no network connection’
Install the vmware tools should be your first action, but this is not a supported OS.
Then i started to search web … there must be someone which tried to install this in ESXi and there was.
