SIOCGIFINDEX failed! - Can't get a network connection
All was working fine, until I reset the computer (Turnkey LAMP running in VMWare Server) and now it cannot get a lease from any DHCP server and setting a static IP does nothing.
There are 2 errors in startup that I am not sure whether were always there:
Host SMBus controller not enabled!
and
udhcpc[3560]: SIOCGIFINDEX failed!: No such device
The latter is more likely to be the problem, but it eludes me why it would start to produce error after a simple restart.
I'm really liking the package so would like to get this fixed instead of moving on, thanks!

Nevermind, seems VMWare
Reply 1Sounds like a VMware bug
Reply 2Probably worth someone who is experiencing it to report it to VMware so they can try to fix it.
Nevermind, seems VMWare Server still has kinks with Windows 7, moved it to an XP Pro x64 box and it works fine again.
