Hi Rocky: This seems to be one of the most asked questions when mounting a Oracle VirtualBox VM. Here is a video that might help you: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oVo_zFhGe3U Jim ----- Original Message ----- From: "Rocky Smolin" <rockysmolin at bchacc.com> To: "Access Developers discussion and problem solving" <accessd at databaseadvisors.com>, "List" <dba-tech at databaseadvisors.com>, "Off Topic" <dba-ot at databaseadvisors.com> Sent: Wednesday, January 22, 2014 5:32:11 PM Subject: [AccessD] Virtual Box Problem Dear Lists: I posted about this already but maybe I can make the problem clearer (as I have spent a few more hours futzing around to no avail). I got Oracle VM Virtual Box quite a while ago to play with but had no application at the time - just wanted to see what it was all about. I set up a Windows XP VM, cloned it and set up an Office 2007 VM. It had no problem establishing a network connection and sharing the host HD. Now I need to set up a W7 VM (or Vista) with Office 2010 and Office 2013. Problem is when I create a VM and install Vista or W7, there's no network connection. I'm pretty sure the VM has the adapter configured correctly - looks the same as the Devices dialog box on the XP VM. And I installed Guest Additions but I think that's to no avail if I haven't got a network connecting. But the OS (both Vista and W7) says no networks are available and I need to install driver software for my Ethernet controller. I'm stumped. Without a network connection I can't get to my host C drive, and of course, not to the internets for updates, etc. Any ideas on how to get these bad boys in the air?
