Cannot connect to internet

Hello all.

I will start by saying I'm pretty much an idiot when it comes to this stuff so I hope I can provide the information needed.

I installed VB on my macbook (OS X 10.9.4) and I can get the Windows XP to open fine. I don't seem to have any problems but inside the Windows I am getting the yellow question mark under the Ethernet Controller, thus preventing me from connecting to the internet. I am writing this from my macbook, so I do have wi-fi connection.

Under the Network Tab on the VB manager I have this...

Adapter 1
Attached to : NAT
Adapter Type : Intel PRO/1000 MT Desktop (82450EM)
Promiscuous Mode : Deny
Check on the Cable Connected

Adapter 2
Attached to : Bridged Adpater
Name : en1: Wi-Fi (AirPort)
Adapter Type : Intel PRO/1000 MT Desktop (82450EM)
Promiscuous Mode : Allow All
Check on the Cable Connected

When I click to connect to Windows, it loads up and I get this message.

Welcome to the Found New Hardware Wizard

I assume this is the ethernet trying to update but I am unable to figure out how to do this for the Windows mode.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Windows XP usually uses the AMD PCNet FAST III (Am79C973, the default)
Did you manually select the Intel PRO?
