Hi There, I have just installed Vista Business on my Toshiba Tecra A6 (Core
Duo) and connected it to our SBS 2003 network. Then i installed Virtual
Server 2005 R2.

For some reason i have lost internet connectivity. I can still connect to
our SBS server and ping other computers on the network as well as the router
(seperate router - only 1 nic card in the server), but traffic will not get
outside the network.

If i disable the Virtual Machine Network Services on the nic card in the
laptop, then it works again - but then no networking in the virtual machines.

I have searched and searched, but only come up with guest OS issues rather
than host issues. I have no idea where to start here so any assistance would
be greatly apprectiated.

Thanks

Simon

Have you verified that you've got the latest driver for your NIC?

The device manager says that the driver is from Intel and dated 14/01/2008.

Vista reports it as an "Intel PRO/1000 PL Network Connection", but the
Toshiba spec for the laptop says that its a "Intel® LAN 10/100/1000 TX
Ethernet". Hmm... Any issues here?

THanks

Hey Simon,

The best I could find was:

Which kinda describes your situation, however with Virtual PC.
It states: Fixed, however I am not able to track anything on that...
