Hi guys,

So, Im having trouble getting on of my vmfusion ubuntu images to talk to the 
host os (macosx). 
I created these images a little differently.  

There are 3 images: ubuntu1, ubuntu2, ubuntu3.
I created ubuntu1 and ubuntu3 by going through the complete install process 
via the vmfusion wizard to install an os.  

However, for ubuntu2, I created this VM differently.  I just copied the folder 
that contained all the vmfusion file for ubuntu1 and renamed the VM it from 
ubuntu1 and ubuntu2.  This is probably why the network identication is exactly 
the same on both ubuntu1 and ubuntu2.  

root@ubuntu1:~# ifconfig -a | grep 'inet6' | grep Link
          inet6 addr: fe80::20c:29ff:fe41:f1d3/64 Scope:Link
root@ubuntu2:~# ifconfig -a | grep 'inet6' | grep Link
          inet6 addr: fe80::20c:29ff:fe41:f1d3/64 Scope:Link
root@ubuntu3:~# ifconfig -a | grep 'inet6' | grep Link
          inet6 addr: fe80::20c:29ff:fe50:363b/64 Scope:Link

On ubuntu2 I manually release the ip address, with "dhclient -r && dhclient", 
and manually assigned it the ip address of 172.16.89.131, with "ipconfig eth0 
172.16.89.131".

Unfortunately, I still cannot talk to the ubuntu2 from the host os with ping:

From the host os I can only ping ubuntu1 and ubuntu3, but not ubuntu2.

Anyone have any suggestions?  I know that I can also just do a clean install 
by going through the vmfusion wizard but it would be nice if I could just fix 
the network card.
