After installing winxp guest os on Fedora 7, I rebooted, installed the additional tools and rebooted.
In the VM configuration for ethernet, I selected PCnet-PCI II (Am79C970a) as the ether interface. I abandoned setting up the bridge interface becaue it just would not work. So, I am back to NAT. I reboot windows, windows finds the driver and brings up the interface - but not fully!. I look at the status and I see only 8 packets received, whereas the number of transmitted packets is in the hundreds and climbing. On host, Firewall is disabled. SElinux is disabled. On window guest, I am unable to connect to any website as indicated by the browser's failure to connect. Also, I can ping 10.0.2.2 but, beyond that, all other internet apps like ie and nslookup, ... etc fail. After ping, count of received packets goes up to 11. Furthermore, i can browse the folder shared via vboxsrv, but I cannot write to any file there, even though it is shared with full read/write access. I tried to redirect output of ipconfig /all > \\vboxsrv\dos\tmp\junk.txt Command returned without any errors. But when I isuue the cmd: type \\vboxsrv\dos\tmp\junk.txt I get nothing back. So I re-try the ipconfig command with redirection into \\vboxsrv\dos\tmp\junk.txt This time (and every subsequent time) the command fails because ".. it is being used by another process..." _______________________________________________ vbox-dev mailing list [email protected] http://vbox.innotek.de/mailman/listinfo/vbox-dev
