freshly installed windows 2000 pro works just great, sound, 3d accelleration, etc. only problem is the entire guest locks up when downloading updates via windows update.

host:
Linux helios 2.6.30-gentoo-r2 #1 SMP Wed Jul 8 10:26:55 EST 2009 i686 Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU P8400 @ 2.26GHz GeniuneIntel GNU/Linux

virtual box 3.0.0 with all three kernel modules inserted.

Try changing the virtual network adapter to the IntelPRO/1000 server if you are using the PCnet III now.

seems to be working! thanks :)

to others with this problem, you will have to google for and download the intel pro 1000 drivers. I'm using the MT server one.

and I had to reinstall the intel pro drivers after I installed the first update. (pretty sure it was sp4)
