eCS 2.1 Guest in Virtual Box

<< < (2/2)

Hi

I don't have any other ideas. I checked VirtualBox Global config and I have everything blank on "NAT" and the virtualbox adpter on "host-only" (check screenshot).

Do you have the Virtual Box Adapter installed on Windows?

Do you have some time to install other OS as a guest and see if the network works on that other OS?

Regards

David Hart:
I have 9 other OS's installed and networking does work.  They all use NAT so it should work for eCS as well.

Now, I got an idea to create another VM and booted with the 2.2 Demo disk.  The first boot seemed to hang reading a "nif" file.  After that I tried changing from the default NIC to Intel PRO/100 MT Desktop and that did connect with the eCS 2.2 demo disk. 

Maybe there is something wrong with the configuration of the VM itself.  I will try removing the VM but not the files and then recreate it from scratch. Whatever it is, its something very unusal.  I'll keep poking around.

Do you think that the there are some updates to the NIC drivers that the 2.2 demo disk has that might help?

thanks,
David


David Hart:
Making progress....

I recreated a VM and used the existing virtual hard disk.  Now, I am getting an IP Address with DHCP.  The IP address assigned is 10.0.2.15 which is from VirtualBox DHCP server.  I'm not able to connect to my lan or outside.

I'll do some more checking.

Hi.

I'm using eComStation 2.1 with "PCNTND.OS2" version: April-29-2005 3:12p  88,570 bytes.    
The NIF file says it is version 4.05. This one works for me.

NICPAK has "PCNTND.OS2" from: 11-03-2000  4:35p        90,625 
The NIF file says it is version 4.05 too.

I haven't tried this one.

On other VM on VirtualBox I'm using "IBM PCI Ethernet Adapter Driver [IBMEANDI.OS2]" also using "PCNet Fast III" on the host, and it also works.

David Hart:
It must have been something corrupted with the configuration file for that VM.  The other VMs are still working as well.

Thanks again.
