network restart error:' does not seem to be present, delaying initialisation'
running CentOS under VMPlayer as supplied with TWiki download.
Tried to configure a static IP address - did not seem to work at all.
Went back to a simple dhcp configuration in
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0
# Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] 79c970 [PCnet32 LANCE]
DEVICE=eth0
ONBOOT=yes
BOOTPROTO=dhcp
on restart get error message:
' does not seem to be present, delaying initialisation'
Not sure what is happening here. Any ideas?

Let's perform a few checks:
- network card has "connect at boot" checked in vm settings ?
- network card type set to "flexible" ?
- is vmtools installed in the guest?

don't see a specific 'type' setting in the VM settings for Network Adapter.
Network connection radio button is currently on 'Bridged'
- is vmtools installed in the guest?
vmtools is currently installed
Thanks for your interest.

/usr/sbin/lsmod on my system, you should be able to just type it into a terminal.

Ok, let's do:
Code:
modprobe -r pcnet32
to get rid of the lower performance module, then:
Code:
grep pcnet32 /etc/modules.conf /etc/modprobe.conf /etc/modprobe.d/*
to see if it is listed anywhere - were there any results?
We'll also check the logs to see what network cards were found on boot:

Here are the results:
Code:
/etc/modprobe.conf:alias eth0 pcnet32
/etc/modprobe.d/vmware-tools.conf:install pcnet32 /sbin/modprobe -q --ignore-install vmxnet; /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install pcnet32 $CMDLINE_OPTS

I am running on a Microsoft Surface Pro with integral WiFi. The configuration has not changed since it was working correctly.
I am running VM5.1.4.1 under Windows 8.1. I am wondering whether this is something that an upgrade to VM 6.1 would fix?

I'm not sure that bridged will work correctly with wifi .. anyone ? You may need to switch it to NAT but that depends on whether you need to allow inbound connections from other machines on the network?
