virtual edition network interfaces

Can the virtual edition support more than two interfaces, not including management? If so how do you get it to re-identify the hardware nic's?

Are you by any chance running it under VMware Workstation?

 

On my 10.2.4 HF7 VE, it does not recognize a network adapter unless it is vmxnet3. What I've been doing is hand-editing the .vmx file and adding: ethernet3.virtualDev = "vmxnet3"

 

If you're on vSphere 5.x, you can make this change in the vSphere Client or the vSphere Web Interface. But as far as I've been able to tell, there's no way to set this in the Workstation GUI.

Hi there I'm having to use workstation until our vSphere stuff get upgraded, adding the extra lines has sorted this out. Thank for this, and thanks to everyone else for their suggestions. :)
