New net adapter or shared network for 98 VM

Hi All,
I'm working through my first virtual machine install. I have a GeForce
4 motherboard and an XP Pro host OS. I created a virtual machine and disk,
ran fdisk, ran format, and installed 98SE. It all went a little too easily,
until...

The 98 VM says my Intel 21140 network adapter isn't working. In
settings, I set the first adapter for the VM to my host adapter, which is an
nVidia nForce net controller. I assume the 98 install complains about an
Intel adapter because it's the closest thing it knows. At any rate, nVidia
doesn't seem to have a 98 driver for the nForce LAN controller I have.

Does anyone know a workaround for this sort of issue? If there is no
workaround, would I be better to put an old adapter in my host system so the
Win 98 VM will have a port to talk to, or should I use the shared networking?
Ideas? Opinions?

Thanks,
Max

Hi Bill,
Thanks for the response. I didn't get how it was supposed to work. I
looked at the nVidia adapter in my network connections, though, and the
"Virtual Machine Network Services" is checked. It shows driver version
2.5.452.0, from 6/4/2004. Other than having the adapter selected in the VM
settings, is there anything else I should have to do?

This seems a very common difficulty, and seems to indicate a real
problem with the new free VPC 2004 SP1 download.

The following fix is a simplified version of the steps described in the link

http://blogs.msdn.com/virtual_pc_guy/archive/2005/01/17/354971.aspx

On the host, look for a registry key of the form

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\VPCNetS2\
Parameters\Adapters\<guid>\Flags

On my XP Pro host there is only one such key, and Flags is equal to 1.
Changing it to 0 solved the problem.

HTH,

David Wilkinson

Thanks, David. That fixed it. I appreciate the pointer to the blog site,
too. I'm pretty new to VM's. I tlooks like there's a lot of good stuff
there.

The virtual machine uses the Intel 21140 network card, so that is the
driver which has to be loaded into the guest operating system (no matter
what OS it is or what NIC the host machine has). The one which comes with
WS98SE should work OK.

On the host machine, go to the properties of the NIC (ie the nVidia). Is
there an entry for Virtual Machine Network Services? Is there a check mark
in the box in front of the entry?
