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?
