| 24 | | * Unfortunately Microsoft dropped support for the AMD PCnet card in Vista that we implement for virtual machines. As a result, Vista guests initially have '''no networking.''' To fix that, install [http://www.amd.com/us-en/ConnectivitySolutions/ProductInformation/0,,50_2330_6629_2452^2454^2486,00.html the NDIS5 AMD driver] in the guest. As you have no networking in the Vista guest, you cannot download the file from the guest, and you can't access it over the network either. So the easiest way to access the file is to create an ISO CD-ROM from it and mount that in the guest. On linux, this can be easily done with `mkisofs -o name-of-target-iso -R -J /path/to/folder/with/amd/driver/file`. |
