RE: [Xen-users] Network configuration error in Windows VistaBusinessHVM / Xen 3.04
For anyone who is interested, I was able to get the Realtek card (RTL8139c) working in Vista under Xen. I''m using Xen Express Server as my OS (which I think runs a version of FC?). I used the Server 2003 driver trick, here is the process step by step. 1. Download latest Vista driver for the RTL8139 series cards from the Realtek site. There is one dated 4/26/07, I used this file. 2. Install the files, follow setup. 3. Copy C:\Program Files\Realtek\VISTA_8139\WINVISTA\NetrtOEM.inf to a folder called ''Temp'' on your Vista desktop. 4. Find a Server 2003 machine, copy C:\Windows\system32\drivers \rtl8139.sys (I burned a CD) to the same Temp folder on your Vista desktop. 5. Rename rtl8139.sys to rtnicxp.sys 6. Open Device Manager, Click Update Driver. 7. Browse my computer for drive software 8. Let me pick from a list of drivers on my computer <--- This is key. 9. Click Have Disk, and navigate to the NetrtOEM.inf in the temp folder on your desktop 10. If you get an error about the driver not being digitally signed, that''s good, you are installing the right driver. The drive date still will say 1/26/2007 (in my case), but now you will be able to pull down an IP and communicate like normal.

RE: [Xen-users] Network configuration error in WindowsVistaBusinessHVM / Xen 3.04
If you''re running XenExpress or XenServer, why would you use the Relatek driver, instead of the accelerated driver in XenSource Tools for Windows? -----Original Message----- From: xen-users-bounces@lists.xensource.com [mailto:xen-users-bounces@lists.xensource.com] On Behalf Of Ian Fitzpatrick Sent: Thursday, May 03, 2007 1:06 PM To: xen-users@lists.xensource.com Subject: RE: [Xen-users] Network configuration error in WindowsVistaBusinessHVM / Xen 3.04 For anyone who is interested, I was able to get the Realtek card (RTL8139c) working in Vista under Xen.
