http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/User_FAQ: There is no networking in Windows Vista guests initially because, unfortunately, with Vista, Microsoft dropped driver support for the virtual AMD PCnet card that we are providing. See "Troubleshooting" -> "Windows guests" in the User Manual for a solution. User Manual: 10.2.4. No networking in Windows Vista guests Unfortunately, with Vista, Microsoft dropped support for the virtual AMD PCnet card that we are providing to virtual machines. As a result, after installation, Vista guests initially have no networking. To fix that, download the official NDIS5 AMD driver for installation in the guest from here: http:// www.amd.com/us-en/ConnectivitySolutions/ProductInformation/0,,50_2330_6629_2452%5E24 54%5E2486,00.htm However, the next problem will be how to get your Vista to access that driver file, as the guest has no networking. One possible solution is to create an ISO CD-ROM that contains it and then mount that ISO in the guest. On a Linux host, this can be easily done with this command: mkisofs -o name-of-target-iso -R -J /path/to/folder/with/amd/driver/file Alternatively, put the driver file on a USB stick and enable a corresponding USB filter for the VM. _______________________________________________ vbox-users mailing list [email protected] http://vbox.innotek.de/mailman/listinfo/vbox-users
