Network on restore state

Post by mailinatorr »

I am running on an windows host (win7) and running an windows xp client. I am usning a bridged adaptor. The problem is that every time i "save machine state" the network refuses to connect after i restore the client. The only workaround i found is to disable and re enable "Local Area Connection" in windows on the client then it gets the ip and everything works. Is there a fix for this? Why isnt the ip automaticcaly refreshed when i load a saved state? So i dont have to disable the connection on every restore?
