asked on

how do I define network adapter for Windows Virtual PC on Windows 7

My OS is Windows 7.
I've installed Microsoft Virtual PC.
Virtaul PC recognizes my wireless network adapter but it doesn't recognize my network adapter
Shared Networking (NAT) is not running for the virtual PC.
On Settings -> Networking -> Network Adapters, wireless network adapter can be introduced but not my network adapter.
Hardware assisted virtualization is disabled. I don't know why.

I've read the article http://blogs.msdn.com/virtual_pc_guy/archive/2005/01/06/347965.aspx
Virtual PC gets and automatic IP together with DNS '192.168.131.254'  but I can't ping to other computers.

In the past, when I had Vista, it was working fine.

I've tried Microsoft Loopback adapter and it doesn't work.
I've tried Virnet virtual network adapter and it doesn't work.

What I want is so simple. I want to connect other computers from my virtual PC but I can't.
windows XP is installed on my Virtual PC and my host operating system is Windows 7.

Kind regards

Does your ethernet adapter shows in the real machine device manager and network connections ? If it doesn't, it's not installed, you need to install its driver, usually windows vista drivers work on there.
You also must consider that Windows 7 is not released yet and this may be a bug.

ASKER

Ethernet adapter is shown in the real machine and it is installed and it can connect to networks. (without the wireless modem).

Ethernet cards options on the setting are

1- Shared Networking (NAT)
2- Local Only
3- Wireless Adapter

1 and 2 are not working at all. When there is a wireless connection 3 works on the other hand.
