IP Pools, and how to avoid them?

Hi,

     Back in the day, times were simpler.  A person could download vMA, slap on an IP, and after a bit of configuration, it worked.  Now, using vSphere 5, the newest version of vMA will not boot, complaining about a non-existent IP Pool... even when I specified that it uses Fixed IP Allocation.  That being the case, what magic do I need to do to get this thing to boot?

Power On virtual machine
vSphere Management Assistant (vMA)
Cannot initialize property 'vami.DNS0.vSphere_Management_Assistant_(vMA)', since network 'XXXXXXXXXXXXX' has no associated IP pool configuration.

      Thanks!
