I'm having the same problem. I tried even assigning an IP though and that
didn't work either. At first, I thought it might be my install, so I
cleaned the system totally, then re-installed win4lin and windows. No
dice. Here is a question. When windows starts up does it startup a
vnetd-2.x automatically? or is there something else which happens here?
