It is the setting for the Guest. The adapter type presented to the Guest OS to use. It should be part of the Guest OS configuration settings. I do not use ESXi. I found only this (older ESXi) https://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=1001805

You are really great. I have found the setting. I hope this will solve my issues. I thank you very very much for all the help you given to me.

Andreas,
Are you using the VMNET3 ethernet adapter with LRO (Large Receive Offload) enabled? If so, this will cause Ubuntu & PMS to crash. It is a Ubuntu driver bug. Changing the ESXi adapter name to e1000e will resolve the issue completely.

Hi Chuck, you are right, all my issues are gone. I thank you so much for all.

This should really add to the Linux /Ubuntu tips. I am wondering a bit to be the first with this issues.

Thanks a lot

Andreas,
You are not the first with this issue. You are correct, this does merit being mentioned in Linux Tips. I will add it now. Thank you for suggesting.
