I have Vista 64 bit Ultimate w/SP1 installed as the host computer. If I use the 32 bit Vista Ultimate as a Virtual Machine (VM), I have no problems with the network connection or anything else in the VM. If I use the 32 bit Vista Home Premium as a VM, everything works fine except the network connection in the VM. The settings are the same on both. ![]() I wanted to use Home Premium since it is the only one that I have a spare product key number for. Does anyone know of a reason why the network connection will not work with the Home Premium edition over the Ultimate with the exact same VM settings? I hope it's not simply because I have Ultimate installed as the host. ![]() Thank you for any thoughts, Shawn |

Firstly, SP1 for VPC2007 is available, dated 5/15/2008, and it might fix the bug you are experiencing (if you haven't already got this update). Secondly, here is a link to the VPC2007 community support pages from Microsoft entitled 'Discussions in Virtual PC for Windows'. I know that this link appears as 'Windows XP Newsgroups', but that is where they have located this particular forum. Have a browse through and see if there is anything there. If not, post your query there and see if you get a reply. All the best, Dwarf Download details: VPC 2007 SP1 Windows XP Newsgroups= |

It just doesn't make sense why with Ultimate installed as the VM the network works fine, but with Home Premium as the VM it has no network. |

I had this once but formatted before bothering to find out why..I remember having to manually install the adapter after making Virtualbox "Run As Admin" (doesnt by default) |

Click on Settings for the selected VM. 2. Click on CD/DVD Drive setting. 3. Uncheck the Attach CD or DVD drive to secondary IDE controller box in the right pane to use the Primary controller instead. NOTE: I had to leave it checked in Ultimate for the network to work. LOL After that the networked poped right up and connected. ![]() Go figure. I want to fix the network, so I set the CD/DVD drive settings to do it. LOLShawn |
