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 ?

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.

    In VMWARE player which network adaptor have you bound to? It's not a simple case of setting the machine up to run from your eth0 on your host, when, now you're on wireless which is presented as eth1 ? – Andrew Taylor Jan 18 '11 at 14:33
