Hello all,
I'm having some problems with the ethernet on my VM. It is windowsXP in the VM which is running on Win7. Every time I start the VM, I am prompted to install an ethernet driver.
I cannot get access to the internet (because there is no network) and I cannot seem to find any drivers which work.
Does anyone know where I can find some drivers or what I can do about this?
Thanks
Ethernet Driver

Re: Ethernet Driver
The default XP network interface card (NIC) in VirtualBox is the default because XP has native drivers for it, right off the shelf. If your XP has a NIC which it doesn't have a driver for then you either :-
- Changed from the default NIC type to something else.
- Are not using a kosher copy of Windows XP (e.g. it's tinyXP or similar).

Re: Ethernet Driver
If you go to the Network Settings of your VM, then you can click on advanced set the adapter type to "PCnet", which will be automatically installed by a original version of XP.
If you set it to Intel PRO/1000 then you can use the drivers from Intel:

You can create a .iso Image to get the driver inside the VM.
