There is a way to install operating systems without burning them! If you have the image, just mount it using daemon tools and set the mounted virtual drive as the vmware’s DVD drive.

Note on the second solution, I tried it and was still getting eth0 coming back up after a reboot. There appears to be a config file in your home directory that tells the network manager what to do. I deleted my gnome config files, and it seems to be working now. If anyone knows where that config file is, it may help others.

If you have NetworkManager running then it will continually over write the resolv.conf file so you must stop the NetworkManager service and keep it from restarting or you will loose all edits to resolv.conf

Second solution did not work. I tried exactly what you said, but as the others reported, it kept adding back a Auto eth0 entry and that took precedence. After trying this a few times and making sure I followed your instructions, I started experimenting with settings to try to make it stick. It never would. I can’t try the first solution at the moment, because I need to specify the DNS servers and I’m not sure of that syntax. Plus, others said it did not work. Here is a possible solution (I have not tried it, but I probably will soon): http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=974382

I have an HP Pavilion DV6500CTO Notebook. I installed Ubuntu V8.10 from its factory loaded Vista environment. I followed your Second Solution through GUI. It did not work initially because the default Auto eth0 kept on taking over, even with it deleted then power cycled. However, I then found that I could simply pull down the Network list and clicked on the “Wired connection 1″ entry, it would switch! I verified this through ifconfig as well PINGing with other interconnected PCs. This is just fine for my purpose of testing behaviors of my HAN (Home Area Network) that is based on static IP address. Thanks a lot!
