Win 10 VM - Network adapter is no where to be found?!?!

[Southpaw32]

Unraid newbie, and setting up my first VM. Everything went smooth until I realized there is no ethernet apdater. No unknown devices in Device Manager. There are no mentions of networking in the Win 10 VM setting either.

 

I have deleted and recreated the VM four times, and still having the same issues.

 

Any ideas?

 

Thanks!

Please post a screenshot of the VM template.

Do you mean the XML? (sorry, I see nothing labeled "template")

Sorry, I meant the other view, form view, specifically this section:

 

[Southpaw32]

Here you go!

There is no section for the MAC or any networking, despite the fact I have set them each time when I did my installs. This has happened every time I have re-created this VM.

Yep, that would be the problem, I've seen that before but not sure what causes it or how to diagnose, any idea @SimonF

Not see that before. Try adding this but change XX in mac

 

    <interface type='bridge'>
      <mac address='xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx/>
      <source bridge='br0'/>
      <model type='virtio-net'/>
    </interface>

[Southpaw32]

Where do I insert that into the XML? Just add it to the end?

 

 

I tried to add it and got this error:

VM creation error

(domain_definition):126: Unescaped '<' not allowed in attributes values
<source bridge='br0'/>
------^

Needs to be in the devices section so before this section.

Thanks! that's what I was trying, and I keep getting the following error:

Sorry missing ' on this line.

but you also need to replace the XX. 

 

<mac address='52:54:00:91:9c:aa'/>

[Southpaw32]

That fixed it!

 

<interface type='bridge'>
      <mac address='xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx'/>
      <source bridge='br0'/>
      <model type='virtio-net'/>
    </interface>

 

 

Sorry, I should have caught that!

I did have a MAC in there on a previous attempt. Did a second copy/paste to make sure I didn't mess something up, and forgot to put in the MAC!

 

Thank you for your time and help!!!

Sorry to necro.

 

I have the same issue. Stupid question, how would I find the MAC address?
I done a bit of googling and it appears dockers will have different MAC addresses, but how do I find one for a VM? I loaded the Windows 10 VM but as it can not find a network adapter ipconfig /all wont give a MAC address.

 

EDIT: I got it working and the mac address is the same as my server. But now it is just stuck identifying.

you don't have to "find" anything to set a target mac address in a virtual machine.

A mac address is simply 6 octects, so you can randomly generate one.

However, in special cases, you may want to emulate a mac address belonging to a certain brand: of that 6 octects the first 3 identify the manufacturer.

For example in my mac os vm, I prefer to set the mac of the emulated network device to one belonging to apple:

c8:2a:14:xx:xx:xx

 

where c8:2a:14 identify 'Apple' and the last 3 octects are randomly generated.

There are public databases to identify mac address, like:
https://macaddress.io/

 

It's not a good idea to have 2 identical mac addresses in the same network, generate a random one and set it in the vm.

 

If you are lazy you can use online generators:
