Windows Forum / Virtual PC / March 2007Why the guest os cannot recognize the network card?
My host guest(XP sp2) has a VIA VT6105 Rhine III FAST Ethernet Adapter,but the guest os(XP sp2) just cannot recognize,instead it just lists an unrecognized Ethernet. So cannot install a driver,and cannot access the internet by LAN. What should I do? > My host guest(XP sp2) has a VIA VT6105 Rhine III FAST Ethernet Adapter,but > the guest os(XP sp2) just cannot recognize,instead it just lists an > unrecognized Ethernet.

Apart from the CPU, VirtualPC (like all virtualisation software) emulates all its hardware. It makes no difference what hardware your host has: http://vpc.visualwin.com/ngfaq.aspx#8 > What should I do? XP should certainly have identified the emulated DEC/Intel 21140A at installation time and installed the correct drivers for it - did you get any installation errors...? I've built many, many virtual machines with XP, and have never once had it not recognise any of the emulated hardware... Thank you very much! It was just the fault of the installation. I think I must be crazy . Leaving aside my unbearable homework ,I have spent so much time on reinstalling virtual pc and windows xp again and again ,and geting the driver of DEC/Intel 21140A ,etc. At last I just had the dirver be installed automatically ,and then it turned out to work.It was so funny and so helpless ,since I have tried this many times ,only to face failure,but this time it works . Anyway ,thanks a lot, Rae. > > My host guest(XP sp2) has a VIA VT6105 Rhine III FAST Ethernet Adapter,but > > the guest os(XP sp2) just cannot recognize,instead it just lists an [quoted text clipped - 15 lines] > I've built many, many virtual machines with XP, and have never once had it > not recognise any of the emulated hardware... |
