Dear Unraid-Community,

I just started using Unraid and so far I am super happy with it!

Sadly, I am not able to configure a network connection of my Windows 10 VM properly, because Windows tells me in device manager Error 56 - i tried different network models.

Setup:

• Drivers installed using: virtio-win-0.1.229-1.iso 
• Win 10 Pro 22H2, Build: 19045.2673
• USB Network adaptor works fine

 

 

I would be so happy if you can help me

 

Best regards

I was able to resolve it by manually reinstalling the driver: https://superuser.com/questions/1671932/unable-to-connect-to-internet-in-windows-10-vm-using-kvm-qemu

Same problem here, appears to be a driver problem. This fixed it for me:

 

• If you haven't done yet, download Windows VirtIO Driver ISO ('Stable virtio-win ISO' worked for me) and attach to guest CD drive: https://github.com/virtio-win/virtio-win-pkg-scripts/blob/master/README.md
•  
• In Win 10 guest, open Device Manager and look for a network adapter with a yellow triangle. If it appears as 'Ethernet Controller', skip to step 3. Otherwise, if it's recognized as 'Red Hat VirtIO Ethernet Adapter' with a yellow triangle: right-click -> Remove Device and check 'delete drivers'. Refresh Device Manager. Now it should appear as just "Ethernet Controller", probably at the top.
•  
• Still in Device Manager, right-click "Ethernet Controller" -> Update Update Driver -> Search my computer. When asked for a path, navigate to your CD drive -> NetKVM -> w10 -> whatever architecture you may have (in my case the full path was D:\NetKVM\w10\amd64).

 

Should now install the correct driver for virtio network adapter and give you internet access. For reference, see: https://access.redhat.com/articles/2470791

 

 

The virtio iso you gave the vm has all the drivers

you just need to deinstall it once in HW Manager and then serach for changed hardware. That did the trick for me
