installing nic driver in vmware

[Emil Ladar]

Hallo,  

I'm quite new to this list. I kept watching ros-translate for a while.
Yesterday I installed reactos in vmware from the .iso file, not the
prefabricated vmware-image.

The Installaer for svga-drivers of vmware during setup is great.
But I still can find no info on the net on howto install the vmware
networkcard. 
I don't find the wiki entry very usefull. 
(http://www.reactos.org/wiki/index.php/HOWTO/setup_a_network_connection)
Especially the registry key:
HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\PCNet1 does not exists
PCNet - obviously is supposed to be the name of the vmware-nic.

If anybody can help me install the nic-drivers I'd like to write a how-to in
the wiki - both in english as well as in german.

Greetings

The VMware network card is installed automatically. If your not running 
dhcp, you'll need to configure it manually via the registry.
Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\
At the bottom of services, you'll see a unique GUID that looks something 
like {********-****-...}
Expanding this will give you a properties folder, ipaddress, subnet and 
gateway can be entered here. The nameserver can be found slightly higher 
up the services dir in the TCP folder.

You'll need to reboot before you netcard is active
