VMware unable to open network mapping library
When starting a VM, I received this error:
This started when I moved back to VMware Workstation 6 after trying Server 2.0 Beta.
This thread got me to thinking, but didn't fix the problem.
I looked further into the .vmx file and found more entries that Server 2.0 beta had added. The removal of these 4 lines fixed the issue and the VM now starts fine in Workstation.
ethernet0.networkName = "Bridged"
ethernet0.allowGuestConnectionControl = "FALSE"
ethernet0.wakeOnPcktRcv = "FALSE"

Worked for me.
I just removed everything referring to ethernet0 and added a new NIC.
You came top of the google search for this; rightly so!
You do have to enable Ethernet again after editing the file and loading it into WorkStation. Otherwise you'll have no network!
This helped me big time in a WTF??? situation. thanks!!!
Removing the config in .vmx refarding ethernet0 worked fine.
thanks a lot
thx to you and google ;)
