NIC Vista guest operating system does not work

I am running VMware Workstation 5.5.5 build-56455, on a Win XP Pro host system.

I just installed Windows Vista business as a guest operating system, but I can't get the network to work.

How to make this work?

The 'real' my Dell workstation NIC is a Broadcom NetXtreme 57xx Gigabit Controller, if it is relevant at all.

Concerning

MazH

It seems that the virtual NETWORK adapter is not installed on the client, otherwise, you would see an adapter in the comments "ipconfig" with an APIPA address.

Install the VMware tools in the comments (you always do). It contains the correctdrivers for the virtual card.

  • Serial port under guest operating system does not work

    Running VMWare Workstation 7.1.3 on win 7-64 bit. Guest operating system is win 7 32 AND Windows XP (32 bit). I followed the instructions on connecting to the host serial port. However, there is no access to serial port a guest OS. Serial Port sniffer running on the host shows NO ACTIVITY on the port operating system serial host.

    Even serial device, attached and if running on the host works very well.

    Any ideas?

    Steve

    I doubt that the documentation is correct for what is with VMplayer 3 on Windows TGV serial ports is.
    Read my notes http://faq.sanbarrow.com/index.php?solution_id=1007

    I removed the option of thinprint and reconfigured the serial port in the vmx file attached.

    Turn off the virtual machine and replace the existing by the attached vmx file.
    Then try again

    If it still does not - change
    Serial0.yieldOnMsrRead = "FALSE".
    TO
    Serial0.yieldOnMsrRead = 'true '.

  • Problems of migration to a new system - guest operating system does not work

    I've been running VMware Player on a Win 7 64 bit laptop.  I have 3 computers of customers, which is 32-bit Win XP.  I've just set up a new machine, also running Win 7 64 bit, but a processor more recent (i7) and more memory (32 GB).  I use the same version of the player on both machines (4.0.1 build-528992).  I copied all the files from the laptop to the new office.  Ubuntu and Mac OS X Lion customers will work perfectly.  When I try to run the client Win XP, I get the following message:

    File not found: Windows XP Mode base.vhd

    This file is required to power on this virtual machine.  If this file has been moved, please provide its new location.

    I don't have a VHD file, I have a VMDK file (again, which works fine on the laptop).  I tried turn off the virtual machine on the laptop, then copying the files to the desktop, and I also tried to suspend, both with the same results.  When I try to change the settings of the virtual machine on the new desktop, clicking on the adjustment of the hard drive (IDE) causes the following message:

    The parent of this virtual disk could not be opened.

    The VMDK file is 19.2 GB.  I've searched and searched trying to find why this could happen and found nothing.  The XP machine has a good bit of responsible software that I use on a daily basis.  Last resort, I could create a virtual XP machine on the new desktop and reload all the software, but strongly prefer not to do it - it would be a tedious task.

    Does anyone have any ideas as to what could happen and how to fix it?  I copied the files several times to ensure that it is not something simple like a damaged copy.  I'm puzzled.  The XP machine was NOT initially a WIndows XP Mode machine, even if the message indicates that VMware Player seems to think it is (and, again, it works fine on the laptop).  The name of the virtual machine is "WIndows XP Mode" - maybe that's why he complains.  Is it possible to rename all of the files and references to files to resolve this problem?

    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Welcome to the community,

    We can be able to know if the virtual machine is one any "Windows XP Mode" VM or not to take a look at VMware.log virtual machine. Please attach the last file vmware.log file XP VM (that of the laptop), as well as the PC to your next post.

  • Adding SCSI - HOST OS card works fine, GUEST operating system does not see the new hardware

    I have a HOST Windows XP Pro SP3 with VMWare v6.5.2 running Windows Server 2003 R2 STD, SP2 as OS GUEST running on any new Dell Precision T3500 Workstation.

    I've closed the COMMENTS and then HOST. Installed an Adeptec SCSI 39160 card in the PC. The card is a 64-bit and is installed in a PCI 32-bit slot. (It is backwards compatible with 32 - bit)

    Powered on PC. Install the drivers of Adeptec on the HOST. Works fine and I can see the card under Windows XP. Rebooted and everything is always OKm POST shows the installed card and search devices. I have no device attached at this point.

    GUEST operating system has started and it does not automatically detect the card. Tried to run the Add Hardware Wizard and same result. Tried to use VMWare to install the new Hard ware with no result.

    Can tell you how I can get the OS TO see / use the new SCSI card?

    golden rule:

    old guest will love the buslogic controller

    new comments will love the lsi-logic controller

    It depends on your guest

  • Qosmio G10: The operating system does not work corectly

    Hello. My problem is that my windows xp does not work corectly, mousecursor, sounds, videos, games, programs, everything turns into a ' stop and go '. as the cpu slows all the 1-2 seconds. I reinstalled windows now 4 times and any document in the format hd´s.

    Don t know what to do...

    and a second question... maybe this could be the answer for the first ;-)

    in my hardware-registration of my system windows are two elements, for I can't find a driver.

    -PCI-Device
    -videocontroller fuer multimedia (German ;-))
    in English systems, maybe it's the multimedia "media control device" or "videocontroller" or something...

    does anyone know if I can get the drivers, because they´re not listed on the toshiba site. and my backup-disk system was stolen. (sounds strange... I know :-))

    OK, please give me some advice, if you have any ideas!

    THX a lot, patrick

    Hello Patrick

    First of all, it will be interesting to know if the unit is pre-installed by recovery media. The installation of Qosmio is quite complicated, and I recommend you use the restore CD.

    In this way it is not possible to give a precise answer because I don't know what kind of things is installed on your device. I guess in your case, some application (such as the virus scan) runs in the background and your HARD drive can be pointed out.

    If your recovery DVDs is stolen, you can order a partner of service authorized in your country.

    Good bye
