Many thanks for posting this guys.
I too had a problem with my NIC and had to remove/re-install the drivers.
Upon doing so, Virtual Server got screwy and couldn't access the network.

To anyone else that has this problem I had to do a couple extra steps:
1. Remove virtual network cards attached to vir.machines.
2. Remove your virtual network.
3. Go to Start->Run; Type "services.msc"
4. Restart the Virtual Server service.
(I had to do this as my network card wasn't showing up when I went to Create New Network Adapater)
5. Go back into Virtual Server Administration and create a new adapter.
6. Apply it to your virtual machines.
