Hi Guys, I installed Ubuntu in Hyper-v and had the same problem "little or no connectivity" so I'll assume the problem is my NIC. Before I buy a new adapter I'll try VMware in windows8 after I switch off Hyper-v. Who Knows, I might prefer VMware after the trouble I've had with Hyper-v. Thanks...

Hi Guy's, I've created a 32 bit Ubuntu VM on my win XP hard drive using VMware in NAT and it connected to the internet immediately on start up using my one and only onboard NIC Realtek PCIe GBE Family Controller. I'll now install a second VM on my win 8 hard drive using hyper-v and Ubuntu and...

Hi Jimbo, To recap. The screen shots of my hardware configuration are below. I opened up some of the devices I think you will want to see. I have 8 GB of DDR2 800 RAM. If you need more please let me know. I'm going to install a VMware in winXPSP3 on my XP 32 bit hard drive just to test if my...

Thanks Kari, I can connect to the internet with no problems. I have a dual boot (two HD's) and both connect fine through the same on board adapter. I will try your recommendation and let you know. Have to leave my computer just now. I'm sure it's something relatively simple that I'm doing wrong...

Hi Kari, Thanks for the advice. I followed the tutorial to the letter but it didn't work, I still havee little or no connectivity. I'll keep looking.

In Windows 8 Pro I have created a virtual machine using Win XPSP3. I've tried everything I can to get an internet connection for my VM. I'm not on a network so I've created an external virtual switch. I've tried using both the legacy adapter and a network adapter. I've tried changing the IP...
