The choices I've made so far for the network settings on the guest vm have been NAT or NAT Networking. Both of these choices return the same results-- an error on startup which reads: device eth0 does not seem to be present, then: Connectivity Issues Detected! when the startup process has completed. No IP address is displayed.</P><P>Well, the vm isn't wrong since I don't have any ports/addresses set up--but I haven't a clue how to bridge the dynamic wireless environment to ip addresses/ports. I am not a network geek, so this has turned out to be a frustrating stumbling block. Please advise.</P> Fri, 14 Jul 2017 10:40:38 GMT paula_ditallo 2017-07-14T10:40:38Z https://community.cloudera.com/t5/Archives-of-Support-Questions/What-is-the-network-adapter-configuration-necessary-for-a/m-p/185937#M64903 <P>While I've been able to get a 2.4 vmware player sandbox to work on my desktop under a NAT adapter without issue, I cannot get a second vmware player to work in a wireless environment on a laptop.
