Hi folks
I am running the latest virtualbox (from the Oracle website) on a 13.10 host with XP pro Guest. I have guest additions installed, and it seems to work fine except for the network speed. Downloading anything on the internet is very slow.
Googling this problem returns the advice to change the virtual network card to another type. Tried this but to no avail, but it also has some issues on any of the Intel type virtual cards, as my XP says it does not have the drivers for them. I thought this was one of the things included in the guest additions?
I have read bridged may also help but as this has DHCP issues (?) which may be a bit beyond my current expertise (or lack of it!!).
Any help/how to's much appreciated.
Mike
