Is the guest NIC set to use the network associated with the physical
NIC in the host? Does it do anything if you manually configure it with an IP
address in the same IP subnet as the host's NIC?

Message: It is probably an incompatibility between Virtual Machine Network Services
and the driver in the host OS for your NIC. There have been a few problems
with virtual networking and Gb NICs, especially the Broadcom ones. If you
don't have the newest version of the driver it may be worth trying it.

Message:I am having the same problem I believe. I have made sure the Virtual
Machine Tools have been updated to the current version. Also I just updated
my Broadcom drivers to 3.0.9.0 and restarted the server, there is still no
connectivity on certain machines. I find the following in the Virtual
Server Event Viewer just after the machine was started.
The virtual machine "dev" cannot connect virtual network adapter 1 because
either the virtual network is invalid or access was denied. This virtual
network adapter will be left disconnected.
Thanks
