USB modem on NT 4 guest OS?

[RCTMASTA]

Okay, I know this has been asked before, but listen.

I cannot seem to figure out how to connect a USB 2.0 modem to a Windows NT Server 4.0 guest OS, and be able to go on the internet.
The host OS is WinXP, by the way.
Modem-MultiTech MT5634ZBA 56k USB Modem
Current Setup-
attached to NAT
PCnet-FAST III type adapter

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

NT4 does not support USB and never did, so it is unlikely it will ever work. You may be able to find really old 3rd party drivers but don't hold your breath.

[Perryg]

Just in case I didn't understand you properly and you are try to use it through the host. If the host has a connection all you should need to do is set the network mode to NAT. If it is going to work that is all you need to do. But the key here is the host must be connected.

I'm trying to use it through the host, and have tried it with the host connected, though it doesn't seem to work. I've got the VM open now, could you give me some steps?

[Perryg]

With the host connected, and the guest set to NAT. Start the guest and click run then enter cmd and press enter.
type ipconfig /all and post the results here.

Also
From the hosts terminal/command window type VBoxManage showvminfo <VM Name> --details and post here. Replace <VM Name> with the actual name of the VM. Use "" if the name has a space in it.

Note if the host is Windows you need to be in the directory that has VBoxManage.exe for the command to work.

I couldn't get that second command to work, what would "Windows NT Server" need to be typed as?

[Perryg]

read what I wrote carefully. You did the ipconfig /all in the XP host and I need it from the NT guest
VBoxManage showvminfo "Windows NT Server" --details
But read the instructions carefully. you must do this in a command window in the directory that has VBoxManage.exe for it to work.

[RCTMASTA]

I tried that command in NT, it said it wasn't valid!
