Whenever I start my VM (Server 2003) it fails to pick up an IP address. It doesnt matter whether bridged or host and affects more than one image. If I set a static iP in the image on the same subnet as the host I cant ping anything on the network.

Any ideas?

Have the VMWare network adapters (on the host) been disabled? If so, then re-enable them.

Just restart VMware on the host (Fusion is just a GUI to it):

sudo "/Library/Application Support/VMware Fusion/boot.sh" --restart

Sometimes it gets in some conflict with Cisco VPN or OpenVPN or NATing (Internet Sharing) you would be doing on the host.
