Win2008R2 and Eth Card

Post by tedew »

hello
I installed Win2008R2 as Virtual Server in VirtualBOX.
I have a probelem after installing. Win2008 doesn't see drivers to the eth card.
In Device Menager, the eth card is as Ethernet Unknow.

I tried install Win2008R2 with PCNET-FAST III and INTEL PRO1000 and is the same.


With Win XP as guest there is no problem.

Please, do you know what is the reason or what I do wrong ??

Create new VM and set it to Windows 7 (64 bit) as profile. Don't mess with the network settings! It should now detect and work with the adapter.
