Botany (06)

The botany cluster had a problem with the eth0 not being connected to the home LAN. The problem was being caused by VMware selecting the Gigabit Ethernet interface instead of the Fast Ethernet card.

The problem was solved by configuring "Manage Virtual Networks" to still automatically select a NIC to bridge to while not considering the Gigabit Ethernet card. Sometime like freedom of choice under Communism - you can choose any candidate from a list of one (1)!
