[Windows 7 VM no internet]

No idea why you get that message - they installed fine for me.    Things to check are:

• what device type you have defined in the network settings of the VM (it should be the default of VirtIO).
• are you selecting the right version (32 or 64 bit) version of the network drivers on the CD to match the Windows version you are installing.

Yeah, it was the wrong version which I was using, silly me. Thank you for your help

I am unable to install them either during installation or if I do it in windows itself. I am presented with: "No device drivers were found." Is there a step which I missed out, I allocated the iso in the VM settings page- 0.1.141

Hello,

 

I created a new VM of windows 7 today, however, I don't have any internet. In device manager it says that I don't have the drivers, I navigate to the ones on netKVM but windows doesn't recognise them. I have the same issue when I go to install the drivers in the installation phase of windows 7.

Can anyone help please as this is my first VM?

I plan on running just one VM with a slight chance of running two of them therefore, I thought that I would need to pass the graphics card through to it.

Would you recommend excluding a graphics card and moving up to a six-core instead? Unfortunately, I am not allowed to go used so a Xeon wouldn't be in the price budget.

 

I am sorry for the questions but I have not done something like this before.

Hello Everyone,

 

I have been tasked with building a NAS for my workplace and I have been allowed to spend around £600 to do so. I decided to use UNRAID so that I can take advantage of the virtual machines which it offers. I need to have use of a windows system on here for VPN connections to other clients across the UK. There are only 8 people in my workplace and I already have enough hard drives to use already so I don't need to include that in the price. Below are two options which I have come up with so far but because I am new to this I ideally would love some community help. I have also thought about using the cache pool with two 256gb SSDs as we will not be writing that much data per day.

 

Current list:

Intel i3 8100 or Intel Pentium G5500

Cooler Master Hyper 212

Asus Prime B360m-A

Onboard graphics or a gt 1030

Two 256gb SSD's for Cache pool

Fractal Design R4

500W Power Supply (probably EVGA) 

8GB RAM 

 

The problem I have is choosing whether to go with the i3 and use onboard graphics or to go with the Pentium and use a gt 1030. As you probably might have guessed, I have to use new components. 

Also, would this be suitable?

 

Thank you in advance.
