Network Adapter not recognizing - Some one Help Me

Post by kumaravel »

Hi guys,

i installed the virtual box in a Windows XP Host,

My System has,

AMD processor,

VIA Rhine II Fast Ethernet Adapter,

i installed the virtual box s/w too.

no i had created a new virtual machine for installing fedora 8

i installed fedora 8 too

the os is working now

but the network adapter is not getting detected in the fedora 8

it was the problem in network adapter settings of the virtual machine

can any one help me in changing the network settings of the virtual

machine so that it can be enabled in my fedora 8 OS.

Never expect a fast reply on a forum.

The issue you have is really vague, you don't say what it is. Did you attach the interface to a proper type, like NAT? Did you already read the manual?

The networking methods supported by VB is described in the manual. Please read chapter 6 (I think). If you have any more questions after you read it and tested it on your VM, post them here.
