To have a backup of my virtual machine I just copied it to a DVD. I have a big surprise when I want to restore it. Everything works great, exept Networking. I had no ping, no internet, nothing.<\/p>\n

The problem was caused because VMWare tools asign a new Mac address.<\/p>\n

How to solve this problem:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Go to the phisical location of you VM files and find vmware_suse.vmx<\/li>\n
  2. Open it and find the following entry: ethernet0.generatedAddress<\/li>\n
  3. Copy the MAC address<\/li>\n
  4. Now, go to the SuSE VMWare and open a termina<\/li>\n
  5. su – root<\/li>\n
  6. Showdown your ethernet interface: ifconfig eth0 down<\/li>\n
  7. Add the MAC address from you VMWare: ifconfig eth0 hw ether AA:11:BB:22:CC:33<\/li>\n
  8. Start-up your ethernet interface: ifconfig eth0 up<\/li>\n
  9. If you use DHCP it is recommended that you will boot your system to renew all the entries into the DHCP server: shutdown -r now<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    That’s it!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
