[RESOLVED] Windows 7 - Wireless Driver

[GlyndwrBartlett]

I am running Windows 7 in a VM and need a wireless driver for my NetComm NP542 card. Does any one know where I can get one?

Wait a sec. If you're running Win 7 in VM environment, why do you need wireless driver?
VM OS uses host OS internet connection.

Hi Broni,

OH!

In that case I must have a different problem as my VM Windows 7 can not get a wireless connection to the Internet. I installed Ubuntu in its own VM and it connected straight away.

When I select IE I get the message "Internet Explorer cannot display the web page" when IE has started. So I click on diagnose connection problems and I get the message "Install a driver for your network adaptor", "Windows did not detect a properly installed network adaptor. If you have a network adaptor, you will need to reinstall the driver."

Are you able to help?

Regards,

What VM program do you use?
See, if you have a connection in general...

Go Start>Run ("Start search" in Vista).
Type in:
cmd
Click OK (hit Enter in Vista).

At Command Prompt, type in:
ping www.google.com > ping.txt
Hit Enter.

In Window Explorer navigate to:
C:\Documents and Settings\your_name (C:\Users\your_name in Vista)
Double click on ping.txt to open it in Notepad.
Copy all text, and post it in your next reply.

Hi Broni,

If you push enough buttons you can solve, or completely stuff up, anything.

The answer is to go into "Devices\Install Guset Additions...".

Oh, and I am running Sun xVM.

Best reguards,

Right. I'm not familiar with Sun's VM, but I guess, every VM has those extra additions, you have to install in order to make the installation complete.
Good job
