How to set up internet connection to virtual machine on Windows Server 2008?

I am running Windows Server 2008 Enterprise x64 and have installed a virtual machine running Windows XP x64. My Windows virtual machine cannot detect any network adapters for whatever reason and therefore cannot connect to the internet. How do I set it up so that the virtual machine can access the internet?

I dont have service pack 2 installed. I'm guessing I have to download it, burn it to a disk then mount the disk on the vm and install?

Ok I have it recognizing the network adapter, but that adapter doesn't have access to the internet, or even to my own network. I have it conected to the VLAN but that doesn't seem to do anything

1. Have you mounted the Integrated Services setup disk from the Action menu and ran the install for the Integration services?

2. On the settings page for the VM NIC do you have the "Enable Virtual LAN identification" checked if you do uncheck the the option and restart the VM. You will have to shutdown the VM to make this change.
