If you copy a virtual machine and specify that the copy should have a unique identifier, the MAC addresses for any virtual Ethernet adapters attached to the virtual machine change. When a Novell Linux Desktop 9 guest operating system is installed, it includes the MAC address as part of a key configuration filename. When the virtual machine&#39;s MAC address changes, the guest operating system might fail to associate this configuration file with the virtual Ethernet adapter. If you experience this problem, you can work around it by copying or renaming the file.
