[clue-tech] VMServer 1.0 Host/Guest Internet problems

[Eric Beale]

I think the problem is being compounded as the XP vm doesn't detect the 
network adapter in any of the configurations I set in the vm settings 
before I power up the XP vm. I am unable to configure a proper LAN or 
network connection, again, as the VM does not know there is a network 
adapter on the host. I deleted the current connection I had, where I was 
able to see the network and ping the host and now (blushing) can't 
reconfigure /that/.
