I am running VMware's vSphere infrastructure.

I have a windows 2003 VM that is suddenly not connected to the network. I can log into vSphere and see that the VM is running, but it does not connect to the VM network.

The firewall on this VM is not running.

The network adapter in the VM is configured correctly.

The only evidence I see indicating an issue is in the event viewer. I have the following entry.

Source: VMUpgradeHelper
EventID: 270
Description: Not restoring network configuration for adapter 
  with MAC address 00:50:56:xx:xx:xx.  The device ID for this
  adapter is unchanged.

THis VM is a webserver, and it was working beautifully just two days ago. "nothing" has happened... so I am at a loss as to what may have happened.

Ideas??
