no option to use "external network adapter"

I've installed VS 2005 R2 and have 2 VMs on it. One I imported from VPC
2004 and the other I created from scratch. Both are win2003 standard. On
neither VM can I set the virtual network adapter to "external network".
Only "not connected" and "internal network" appear as options. I installed
the VM additions on the VM I created from scratch. I didn't have this
problem with the original ver of VS a yr or so ago. I haven't found
anything that says what to do to enable external networking.

The host server (win2003) has functioning Intel pro 1000 NIC which are
configured in a team. Does it seem likely that's the issue? It would be
easy to test, but it doesn't seem likely to be the cause.

Any suggestions would be appreciated,

Thanks!
Bob

couldn't find the solution yesterday, but did today,

the trick was to create a new virtual network on the host and to tell it to
use a physical NIC in the host. too simple.
