I have windows 2003 R2 Ent server as host with one physical network adapter + vmware server 1.0.6. I have slackware linux 12.1 as guest with two bridget virtual network adapters connected to different netwokrs- supposed to be router. The problem is that from the networks i see these two virtual adapters with no permanent MAC. One time the MACs are the same, one time two adapters are exchanging MACs each other, one time are OK, and this changing is causing a lot of network problems. It was the same and with vmware server 1.0.5. If i loged on the linux and check MACs, everything is ok, MACs are as should they be.

Any suggestions, or Does anybody have similar environment with such results?
