hi
i have a pc that i build.
the motherboard is ASUS P8P67 Deluxe.
it includes 2 network adapters on board:
1.realtek network adapter.
1. intel network adapter.
when i try to install vmware os it shows me an error that:
"no compatible network adapter found.please consult the product's hardware compability guide (HCG) for a list of supported addapters...
please help.
thanks.
ben.
The easiest way is to get a compatible NIC. The "Intel Pro/1000 GT" for example is known as working and is affordable (~30$).

This is the Network Card HCL from VM for ESX & ESXi 4.0.
As you can see your NIC's aren't listed.
so there is nothing to do?
i cant push some driver or something?
