Ubuntu network card detection using VMWare

[fuzzyLogicXtrm]

I install Ubuntu 8.04 server i386 on a VMWare Workstation and everything works fine. The problem arise when I want to run the ubuntu installation image in other machine using a VMWare Player. The problem is that the network interface eth0 doesn't appear.

I use the command "ifconfig -a" but I only can see a "eth1" interface that is down. Could the problem related to the DHCP? I am using a bridge network but the problem appears using a Host-Only network too. Could the problem be related to the relation between the network interface and the MAC Address of the network card where the ubuntu was installed?

Thanks in advance.

Problem solved.

I should remove a persistent rule that related the card with a MAC address:

rm /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules

Cheers!
