We have a WIN2K3 server on ESX3.5 Update1 and the NIC is set for a static address. I power down the machine, and add the SCSI Tape Drive to the Virtual Machine. Once the server is back up, NIC1 is gone (Still in registry) and we now have a NIC2 but with a DHCP address. I'm not sure how this is happening but i can produce it over and over.
