I am trying to upload a Windows 2008 SP2 server image to Amazon EC2, but once the process is complete, I can't connect to it.

1. I had ops export a VMDK from our datacenter.
2. The image appeared to have a fixed IP, so I loaded it in VMWare player and enabled DHCP.
3. I uploaded it following amazon's instructions: http://aws.amazon.com/ec2/vmimport/
4. I start the new instance and try to RDP to the public DNS; connection fails.

My two thoughts are:

1. Loading it in VMWare player messed it up somehow, since the instructions say use an ESX image.
2. The image they made me had the wrong network adapter type. The image has an Intel(R) PRO/1000 MT adapter using the E1G60I32.sys driver.
