Suddenly I lost my VMware Player Linux ip , why?

  • 772

I installed CentOs 5.8 on VMware player version 3.1.2 that running on windows xp

Everything was working great I used bridged network configuration and I got ip (probably from the network DHCP )

But suddenly yesterday I started VMware and I could not connect , when I do ifconfig –a I don’t see my old ip , in fact I don’t see any ip

What can be wrong here ?

networking vmware-player

  1. It happens from time to time; just do a 'service network restart' as the ROOT user from the command line (Terminal/Console) and DHCP will assign you a new lease.
