winXP and driver network

[wiko]

Hey,

I'm sorry if duplicate thread, but nothing work ...


I have promox Proxmox VE 3.1(ovh) and vm windows xp sp3 x86. I don't know how well I configured network (I don't how to check), because Windows dosen't have a properly installed network adapter. I installed virtio-win-0.1-74.iso and virtio-win-0.1-59.iso. Windows says that the driver doesn't fit.

What Windows and what network driver I need to install?

Thx

you have to find out first what kind of virtual ethernet card has been assigned to your vm
it could be
- virtio
- realtek rtl 8139
- intel e1000

then you have to match the driver in win xp (virtio drivers match only virtio card case, of course)

Ok. My sweet mistake... I installed a wrong driver, now Windows have good driver.


In configuration adapter in Windows vm:
IP: 192.168.0.2
Mask:255.255.255.0
Gateway: 192.168.0.254


DNS:
213.186.33.99
127.0.0.1
Config vm in promox: bridget:vmbr2, model: virtio, mac: random...

in interfaces added at the bottom:

auto vmbr2
iface vmbr2 inet static
address 192.168.0.254
netmask 255.255.255.0
bridge_ports none
bridge_stp off
bridge_fd 0
post-up echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
post-up iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -s '192.168.0.0/24' -o vmbr0 -j MASQUERA$
post-down iptables -t nat -D POSTROUTING -s '192.168.0.0/24' -o vmbr0 -j MASQUE$

Windows mentions about ip conflict. But no system uses this IP (192.168.0.2)

if you are sure no other pc is using that, it could be a "hidden" card (if you converted a physical pc image to this vm, and the pc card had that ip, or if you tried other cards before with that ip in the vm)

see this wiki article about solving this issue...

I choose ip vm to :192.168.0.5


Changed iptables:

auto vmbr2
iface vmbr2 inet static
address 192.168.0.254
netmask 255.255.255.0
bridge_ports none
bridge_stp off
bridge_fd 0
post-up echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
post-up echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/vmbr2/proxy_arp
post-up iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -s '192.168.0.0/24' -o vmbr0 -j SNAT --to !!!IP_MY_SERWER(VMBR0)
post-down iptables -t nat -D POSTROUTING -s '192.168.0.0/24' -o vmbr0 -j SNAT --to !!!IP_MY_SERWER(VMBR0)

Rest the mother machine.. And work. We'll see how long: D
