Network adapter problems

When moving VM HD and VM machines from machine to machine, sometimes we get problems with the Network adapters. VM creates new ones and it can be that you have some hidden ones still running.

To check the non visible ones, please do the following:

from a command prompt type: set devmgr_show_nonpresent_devices=1

Then type Start DEVMGMT.MSC, and then press ENTER from the command prompt

go to the device manager and choose show hidden devices under the view menu.

That's it, you shoul be able to see and delete if you want the not necessarely adapters.
