VM Switch off after hours or minutes

[Jose A]

Hi!
I have a Server with 2 machines, one is Linux Debian, another is windows Server 2008R2, the debian vm work perfect, but the windows machine switch off, the log says this:

The machines use the same net interface! only 1 net interface.

Thanks for the help!

I change the power save mode, i put the "intel e1000"network adapter and uninstall the "net virtio driver", trying things...

SelfSolved!
The problem is... windows Server 2008 R2 license was expired!!! :-O
There was a valid license, but when changing parameters of the vm, the license was put in "test" mode
In this mode Windows Switch off every HOUR.
Solution: simply choose the option at the beginning of "activate windows online"
I didn't even have to enter the license number.
