Steps to remember when copying a Virtual Machine

I recently copied a VM to reuse and encountered a networking issue.  Part of the process of editing the .vmx file prior to starting the VM should include changing the MAC address of the Network Card.

Simply adjust the .vmx file with the necessary changes ie "nvram, and displayName" along with adding the example below to the end of the file.

Example (to avoid an ipv6 address conflict):

ethernet0.address = "00:50:56:00:00:01"
