I agree, there is something funny to do with networking with
WinXP/Win2K guests. I use user-mode networking with the
current cvs head. Sometimes XP is able to make a connection
to the outside world; yet if I just leave the guest machine
idle and try an hour later then it can't; try again 5 minutes
later and it's OK again. It's very frustrating. I have no idea
what's happening. Also, even when it can communicate with
other machines on my local network, it's really slow.
Wierd thing is, running Red Hat 7.3 as a guest, with user-mode
networking, the guest's connections to the outside world are
both reliable and fast. Which corresponds with Matthias' observation.
Any ideas? Has anyone else got any related observations?
