VMware Server 2.0 changed the NIC to a gigabit NIC (success rate: 99%)

Similar onlineArticleMany of them are true, but during the test, you may find that the success rate is too low. After you modify the vmx file, start the VM, and change it to the amd Nic.

After many tests, I finally found a method with a success rate of 99% (I dare not say that 100% was successful, but at least I tested it over 10 times)

 

First, create a virtual machine (assuming that the virtual machine named "win_xp_sp3" is created, and the storage path of the virtual machine configuration file is "[standard] win_xp_sp3/win_xp_sp3.vmx ")

After creation, click the "Configure VM" (configure VM) command in the "commands" option in the "summary" tab.

In the displayed "VM configuration" window, select the "power" tab and select "BIOS setup) in "Enter the BIOS setup screen the next time this virtual machine Boots", click "OK" to save

Do not rush to start the VM. Edit the corresponding vmx file first.

Add ethernet0.virtualdev = "e1000" before all ethernet0 options

In this case, win_xp_sp3.vmx looks like the following (note the red part)

You only need to add the red partCodeYou can. Save the configuration file. Don't worry. Don't close the configuration file first (this step is the most important)

Keep the configuration file open (remember to save it after adding the above Code)

Then start the Virtual Machine. Because the BIOS has been set up before boot, the virtual machine should enter the BIOS settings, and locate the "Boot" option.

Check whether there is a "network boot from Intel e1000" at the bottom. If so, congratulations, the NIC type has been modified successfully, in this case, press F10 to save and exit the BIOS settings (Do you want to save whatever you want? I am used to giving the soft drive option to disable, so I will use F10 to save the BIOS settings here)

After you exit the BIOS settings, you can close the virtual machine configuration file and install the operating system.

After installing the operating system, you must install the NIC Driver, because the NIC driver is not included in the VM and must be downloaded from the Intel website.

Download link http://downloadcenter.intel.com/SearchResult.aspx? Lang = Zho & keyword = % 22 intel + Pro + 1000 + MT % 22

Because the NIC driver is not installed, you cannot copy files from the host to the Virtual Machine (even if you have Installed VMware Tools)

In this case, you can package the NIC driver into an ISO image, and then copy the driver file to the Virtual Machine by loading the optical drive.

 

Appendix:

If you do not want to install those large ISO production tools, you can download the ISO image tools I have created.
Http://cid-169e8a9b664f174d.skydrive.live.com/self.aspx/.Public/Folder2ISO.exe
This tool simply packs Microsoft cdimage ver. 2.47 and adds it to the right-click menu. You can open it through WinRAR. Double-clickProgram(If you are not at ease, you can open it with WinRAR to see what the BAT file has written.) then, you can put the downloaded intel pro 1000 MT driver in a folder, right-click the folder and select "generate ISO file ".

 

If you want to save trouble, you can download the package containing

FreeBSD, Linux, DOS, win_2000
The following 32-bit and 64-bit drivers are available:
Win_xp, win_2003, win_vista, win_2008

Intel PRO 1000 MT Driver (Vista driver can be used in win 7)

These driver files are all downloaded from the Intel official website (the total size of the two RAR packages is 68.8 MB, and the decompressed file is a 70 mb iso image)
