Select VMware Server Bridged Network Adapter

When setting up an edge VM to bridge to the physical network, you usually only need to configure eth1 on the edge and VMware on the host will automatically select the correct adapter to bridge to the uplink. This works best if the uplink is working before you start the edge. If not, VMware may choose the wrong adapter to bridge.

You can manually tell VMware which adapter to use by following these steps:

Run the Manage Virtual Networks program.

If running under the LocalTerminal account (or other non-administrator account), you must run this application as Administrator by right-clicking on "Manage Virtual Networks" and selecting "Run As"

... and then select "The following user:". Make sure the local Administrator account is selected, enter the password, and click OK.

Now click to the "Automatic Bridging" tab and uncheck it.

On the "Host Virtual Networking Mapping" tab, drop down the list for VMnet0 and select the adapter that provides the uplink. You can cross-reference this on the Control Panel / Network Connections window. In the example below, it's the Realtek Gigabit. On Sys6 and Sys7 Site Servers, it'll be the only Intel adapter.

Click OK, and you're done.
