I installed XP3 on my host workstation and now all my Virtual PC 2007 OS's
do not have them getting an IP from the network. They are all set to use the
Broadcom NetXtreme 57XX Gigabit Controller which is the NIC in the host.
Nothing has changed for VPC just the SP3 installed on the host.
This is what I've tried so far with no luck.
1. Remove my NIC from the host and let it reinstall by rebooting.
2. Updated the driver from Dell's website (it was already up to date but
updated anyways)
3. Removed the VM Network Services from the LAN properties on the host and
reinstalled.
4. In the VM OS, I removed the NIC from Device Mgr and restarted it. The NIC
reinstalled.
Is this happening to anyone else?

FYI: To anyone who cares.
This is now a known issue with MS. If you install SP3 on your XP host
workstation, then all your VPC OS's will lost network connectivity. They say
to wait for VPC 2007 SP1, whenever that might be released....

Apparently that is not universal. It may be hardware specific. I am
running an XP SP3 host and am not seeing any connectivity issues.
Interesting.

A variety of systems using Yukon, nVidia, and Atheros NICs. It may be the
Broadcom. None of my systems use one.
