Configure Network button is greyed out during install

Latest response

I am installing an evaluation copy of RHEL 6.4 and after putting in the computer name the "Configure Network" button was greyed out. I have not installed RHEL in quite a while and would rather have the network setup be guided, versus manual if possible. Additionally, I found that the Network Manager daemon was not installed on this package; I could not find where to get that installed.

Is the fact that the Configure Network button is greyed out a sign of a larger issue?

Nevermind! I think I figured out the issue. I am installing this on a VM with vSphere and my access got mistakenly changed, not allowing me access to a virtual networks when I created the VM. I am used to that being a given and didn't bother to check for the existence of the NIC adapter. No NIC adapter no reason to configure!
