Network Adapter Does Not Obtain an IP Address in Shared Networking Mode
When you configure Microsoft Virtual PC Virtual Machine
to use Shared networking (NAT) mode, the network adapter does not automatically
obtain an IP address that is in the 192.168.131.* range. Instead, your adapter
continues to use a previously configured IP address.
This issue may occur when the following conditions are
true:
- Your virtual machine has Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 installed.
- The process of switching your virtual machine to Shared
networking (NAT) mode was not completed successfully.
To resolve this issue, use the
ipconfig command to release
and then renew the IP address of your virtual machine. To do so, follow these steps:
- On your Windows NT 4.0 virtual machine, click
Start, click Run, type ipconfig
/release, and then click OK.
- Click Start, click Run,
type ipconfig /renew, and then click OK
Microsoft
has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed
in the "Applies to" section of this article.
APPLIES TO
- Microsoft Virtual PC 2004
Community Feedback System
Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high
and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances
are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back.
Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what
didn't.
Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be
correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each
other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're
not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry
edits), please consult a professional.
