Broadcast network - VM can't see outside, but I am able to ping from the box and get an answer.

I'm under ESXi 4.1 VM worked safely for 2 years now. Question today where 1 of the VM could not hit the internet more. When I try to change the framework within the OS on the connection, I get "an unexpected error has occurred" pop-up. All other virtual machines are great, I have deleted/added the adapter without change.

Don't know where to start troubleshooting this but need a quick fix as it's a prod box.

Thank you

Mike

Try this Microsoft KB article: error message when you open the connection properties: "an unexpected error has occurred" and if the article doesn't solve your problem, since the problem is on a damaged network adapter registry, I recommend you do the following:

1. stop the virtual machine and remove all the network adapter virtual;

2. open a command prompt and type: set devmgr_show_nonpresent_devices = 1 and then start devmgmt.msc

3. on the management of devices click on the view menu, click Show hidden devices.

4. search for Ghost network cards, select the ghost network card, do a right click and uninstall.

5. Add the new network adapter and set the IP address again.
