Windows Forum / Virtual PC / May 2008VPC2007 Network Issue
Hi people, I have got a real strange issue here. I have VPC running fine and dandy on one machine and it is able to connect to the network fine. However, I have another identical machine (hardware wise) which I am trying to run the same vpc (Windows XP SP2) on it and connect to a network, and it is failing. The strangest thing about it is that the vpc gets assigned its IP settings properly from the network DHCP, but then after that, I cannot ping anything apart from the local host. I cant even ping the DHCP server that I just got my IP settings from!? Any ideas? Cheers Are you running a copies of the same vm on both? Unless you change the MAC on one of them you would get a conflict. > Hi people, > [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > > Cheers Im not running them at the same time. I have tried removing the mac address out of the vmc file so it regenerates it. This is very strange! > Are you running a copies of the same vm on both?

Ive been told that there isnt any funky switches here that only allow 1 IP address per port, so it must be something specific to that machine. Cheers > Im not running them at the same time.

When you use the 'New Virtual Machine' wizard to add an existing VM, it automatically changes the MAC address (at least VPC2007 does this). > ... Well, i ran it up and it had the same mac address as when it is ran on the offending PC, so it isnt the mac address. >> Even more odd, is that I have just shared out the image and added it to >> ms vpc on another machine (same spec) and started it up there and it [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > >> ... >>> Even more odd, is that I have just shared out the image and added it to >>> ms vpc on another machine (same spec) and started it up there and it >>> works fine. >> >> When you use the 'New Virtual Machine' wizard to add an existing VM, it >> automatically changes the MAC address (at least VPC2007 does this). >Well, i ran it up and it had the same mac address as when it is ran on the >offending PC, so it isnt the mac address. You should always create a new guest when you copy your virtual machine to another host. At the disk step just select the copied vhd file and you will have a guest running with the appropriate hardware emulation and a unique MAC address. Don't copy the vmc file. Bo Berglund |
