Duplex mismatch may occur - Intel PRO Set II

[Royce]

Hi,

I saw someone else posting this same issue but the thread was unresolved:
viewtopic.php?f=6&t=55509&p=256113&hili ... ch#p256113

I have the following setup:
Host: Windows 8.1, VBox 5.0.8, Bridged Networking (Intel I217-LM to guest Intel PRO/1000 MT Server)
Guest: Windows NT4 SP 6a

In the event log on the guest, I see this message:
E1001 is setup for auto-negotiation but the link partner is not configured for auto-negotiation. A duplex mismatch may occur.

I also have the same event running the VM on a Linux Debian Host.

There is a second message that reports that the link has been established.

I don't appear to have any issues with the guest NIC, but this message bugs me. On occasion the Guest gets stuck during boot and I notice that the Pro Set II system tray icon hasn't loaded when this happens. I'm wondering whether this has anything to do with it.

Moved to "Windows Guests" since the selected forum is irrelevant to the question asked.

Please post a VM log file. With the VM fully shut down, right click it in GUI. Select "Show Log" and save "VBox.log" (ONLY) to a zip file. Attach the zip here.
