Networking within a VirtualBox VM: driver installation fails

Post by fusion809 »

Hi,

I have installed ReactOS Nightly (rev 73595) in a VirtualBox VM. The problem is that the ethernet is not working. When I started up the VM this window popped up (and yes to get it back so I could take a screenshot I had to use the device manager) and I clicked "Next" with the install automatically option selected and it failed. Now what do I do to get the WiFi on this VirtualBox VM to work. I checked the ReactOS Wiki's article on VirtualBox looking for a solution, but I found no mention of networking or ethernet, except this:
Go to 'Network', click advanced, change the adapter type to 'PCnet-FAST III'.
which I did. Any ideas how to fix this error?

Thanks for your time,
Brenton

choose The Win2K3 default settings from VBox and it will work like a charm. (you can change ram and hdd space if you need)
