Hello!

Does anyone has experiences with supermicro board ( X9DRi-F ) with Win8 and Intel I350 network adapter?
It does not allow the Xp Guest system to connect to the network - no specific message.
I think there is no Xp driver for it.Could there be a workaround?

Thank you.

Your virtual machine is using "virtual hardware", including a virtual network card. So, don't worry about your Intel I350 drivers (they're actually useless). The (default) recipe of your WinXP should have a "PCnet-Fast III" network card which is auto-detected by WinXP. And as long as you see a network adapter in your guest, you should be OK.
