Hello

I have succesfully installed Virtualbox on my 8.10 computer. Have installed Windows XP as a guest. Has Guest additions installed. Virtualbox version 2.0.4.

Problem:

Cannot connect to network in in the guest OS (windows XP). Nothing shows up in network connections. In Device Manager there is a VMware Accelerated AMD PCInet adapter listed. It has a yellow exclamation mark. When i go to properties of the network adapter it displays this error code under the general tab. "This device cannot start (code 10)"

Any help is appreciated

What did you select under network settings for the particular guest? Check on the host machine in VB gui, before you boot the guest. Dedoimedo
