I uploaded the VM to my Vcenter client. After booting the VM it fails to connect to my network.

The same VM when booted on my local machine starts up fine and I'm able to use it as intended. When it's on Vcenter it doesn't assign itself an IP and just keeps looking for an IP. I've tried to go into the console via Alt-F2 and assign it an IP manually. Then I restarted the VM and it just keeps looking for an IP all over again.

I'd like to use the precreated virtual machine instead of running it on one I built because I keep running into other little issues as compared to just using the pre-made virtual machine. If there is any information on how to assign it an IP manually and make it save after a restart that would be wonderful.
