I just replaced my block and network virtio drivers in my Windows XP machine with the newest ones (the old block driver would bluescreen at boot time). The new drivers seem to work, but the network takes almost a minute to get initialized. During this time if I try to do things like right click on network and bring up properties, nothing happens at all, the window with the list of interfaces doesn't even appear for about a minute, and when it does appear, it is blank - I have to right click and refresh before the network shows up. Once this finally happens, it seems to be working normally. I can tell it to repair, and it only takes a few seconds to renew the DHCP lease, so I don't think this is a DHCP problem.
When I was using the older virtio drivers on the older libvirt, the network would come up right away without this mysterious delay, and other than updating the virtio drivers I haven't changed any settings. Anyone have any clues to the problem, or ideas for how I can tell what is going on? _______________________________________________ virt mailing list [email protected] https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/virt
