Vista - LAN ADAPTER UNDER VPC

11-22-2008

I have installed Virtual PC 2007, and three versions of Windows Vista on it
(Ultimate, Home Premium, and Business), as well as Windows XP Professional.
I cannot get onto the Internet with any of them. The Settings Menu for each
of the installed OSs shows a Marvell Yukon 88E8056 PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet
Adapter. This is correct as this is the integrated Ethernet on my ASUS P5E
MOBO. However, checking in the VPC Device Manager for each OS it shows the
following installed: Intel 21140 - Based PCI fast Ethernet Adapter
(Emulated). Obviously, the hardware actually installed on the Host Machine
is not showing up in the Device Manager of the VPC even though the Settings
Menu for the VPC is showing the correct hardware configuration.

Has anyone had this problem before? If so, how did you get out of it? Are
there any suggestions to get the correct hardware to show up in the VPC?

Thank you for your assistance

Regards,

Vic

The Intel 21140 card is what is emulated for all virtual machines. They
cannot "see" any hardware on your host machine unless it is reached by
sharing a disk, or something like that.

How does your host PC get its Internet connection?

If it sits behind a DSL router then most probably it uses DHCP and
this will then also be used by the guests to obtain their own
individual IP addresses from the same DHCP server (the one inside the
router).
But if your host PC is directly connected to the Internet without any
router in between then your ISP probably only provides for a single IP
address to be given, in which case you have to get yourself a router
to put between Internet ((A)DSL) and the local network.

If you go the "Shared networking" way then the guest will use the host
to gain access to the Internet, but it will not be possible to
communicate between the guests or between host and guest. Not
recommended.

Thank you for your assistance. I have been tied up with other issues and
have not had an opportunity to try your suggestions yet. I hope this weekend
I'll have some time. I'll let you know what I find out.

Hi Bo -

I appreciate your help! I've been tied up with some other issues and have
not had a chance to work through your suggestions yet. I hope this weekend
to have some free time to get back to the VPCs again. I'll let you know how
I made out.

Regards,

Vic
