Hi Will. I believe that VCL requires manually assigning MAC addresses when you generate the VM records -- you must use the multi-add page under "Add Computers", and have it assign a range of MAC addresses. Note that VMware uses two ranges of MAC addresses: one range for those it auto-generates, and one for those assigned by the user. I believe that VCL sets the MAC address of the VM at each deployment time, which would mean that you can't just let VMware generate the MACs and then list them in the database afterward; you must use something from the manual range. We chose two ranges under 00:50:56:xx:xx:xx, one for each of our private and public-facing net segments. I've read at least one doc that refers to this being the "easiest" way to set up your VM network, but after lots of experimenting I think it's actually the only way. Good luck, -m
