Actually Don, you might have missed the Intel PRO/1000 in the log:
00:00:02.875116 [/Devices/e1000/0/LUN#0/] (level 4)
00:00:02.875117 Driver <string> = "NAT" (cb=4)
The defaults for the WinXP template have changed, and now when you create a new WinXP VM you get an "Intel PRO/1000 T Server" card as the proposed network card, instead of the previously suggested "PCnet-FAST III". You were looking in the wrong area
I was bitten by that myself, that's why I did the "
Template defaults (Global.cpp revisions)" post in the "
Developers corner" section of the forums, to track changes to the templates.
@craiglogan
The defaults for the template may have changed, but
you changed some things yourself, didn't you? While researching my answer, I did a comparison between the logs of a WinXP guest of mine and yours. And there was a line that was different, in the same area, networking:
00:00:02.875107 [/Devices/e1000/0/Config/] (level 4)
00:00:02.875109 AdapterType <integer> = 0x0000000000000000 (0)
Mine was "
1". I didn't know what this AdapterType was, but I figured it out; your network card is *not* the "Intel PRO/1000
T Server", which is one that WinXP has drivers for. It's the "Intel PRO/1000
MT Desktop", a card for which WinXP does *not* have native support. You were prompted about new hardware and you dismissed it(?). And of course you couldn't find drivers on the CD or on the net for that card, so that card is not seen, so you get an empty "ipconfig /all". But in any case, change the card type to the "T Server" kind.
And I would
really love a good explanation about why you changed the NIC type and had us going on a wild goose chase...
