Well that was very helpful - got me closer - I switched to that adapter and looks like it installed the adapter drive on bootup. But still no connection the network. But ipconfig shows an address 169.254.133.152. Don't know if that's wrong or right. But a step closer anyway. Any other ideas now? The problem is, I think the OS, not the VM.

Windows will have one of these adapters and install the driver once it sees the right one. Note: the guest must be shut down to change the adapter type. Located under advanced."

It says I've got to install drivers - doesn't install the network device drivers automatically like it does in the vid. 3) ipconfig at the command prompt shows nothing in my VM So the OS in my Vm is not picking up and installing the network card automatically as he says at 5:00. The OS keeps asking me for the disk to install the driver.

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?
