DarkAsHell Posted July 6, 2006 Share Posted July 6, 2006 While using Microsoft Virtual PC to test my Auto XP CD I came across an odd error. Setup informed me that my IP address was in use by another computer on the network. Considering there is no network, unless Microsoft's VM decided to make one, this should not be a problem. Besides which, I never specified a static IP. This happened at the 12 or 13 minute mark. Any ideas as to the cause of this error? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The error messages continued even after completing the XP install. If it is just the virtual machine then it doesn't really matter. However, before I format my system I would like to make sure everything works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anderz Posted July 6, 2006 Share Posted July 6, 2006 (edited) You can also install THIS patch from Microsoft. It will let your Virtual Machine use the real machine's network connection. Edited July 6, 2006 by Anderz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
