Network cable unplugged

I have a strange problem.
I have installed Windows Server 2003 with Service Pack 1 within Virtual
Server R2.
No matter which network card I configure (3Com or VIA) the icon next to the
clock tells the network cable is unplugged.
I have installed Windows Server 2003 R2; no problems.

The driver for the DEC 2114 virtual network card is in both version of
Windows Server 2003 the same.
I have set the NIC speed to 100Mbps/Full Duplex, but that does not help.

Background info: Dutch Small Business Server 2003, English Virtual Server
R2, dutch version of Windows Server 2003 with Service Pack 1, Dutch version
of Windows Server 2003 R2. Virtual Server Additions are installed.

Has anybody experienced this same problem and knows how to fix this?
The problem is that I have one license for Windows Server 2003 R2 and one
for Windows Server 2003. I would like the run both simultaneously.

Thanx.

Figured it out:
I configured the Windows Server 2003 server to start automatically when
Virtual Server starts. I gave the account used to start this server Change
rights on the directory 'shared virtual networks', but these rights were not
populated on the files within this folder.
I now configured to not start de server automatically. This solved the
problem.
I gave the files within the folder the necessary rights. This should solve
the problem when starting the server automatically.

As Gerdo hinted, this is frequently a permissions problem that appears after
setting the virtual machine to run under a specific user account. See
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/virtualserver/2005/proddocs/vs_operate_using_secure_vm.mspx?mfr=true
under "Permissions for virtual networks" for a description of the file
permissions the account must have in order for your virtual network to
function.

The most-often-overlooked piece of this is setting permissions on the .vnc
files (or the parent folder) which are found, by default, in C:\Documents and
Settings\All Users\[Shared] Documents\Shared Virtual Networks.

Although adding the Virtual Machine User Account to the Administrators group
will certainly grant the required permissions, once you know the minimal
permission requirements, you can improve security by creating a "Virtual
Network Access" group with these minimal permissions and add each new Virtual
Machine User Account to this group.
