Since WinXP is dead its anyone's guess how long the activation servers will be up. There are ways to bypass activation. I dredged up my old WinXP CD and fired up a VM (I will never forgive you foe that!). Looks like qemu uses a default nic that WinXP does not recognize, even after installing Service Pack 3. Here is my command to have WinXP automagically detect and install the NIC driver (adjust as needed) $ qemu-kvm -m 768 -hda winxp.img -cdrom /dev/dvd -net nic,model=pcnet -net user Adjust as needed. For the future: >From the qemu manpage: "The NIC is an e1000 by default on the PC target." Now check WinXP device manager, ooo! yellow ? for ethernet controller; right click properties, update driver, etc etc look at driver list....mmm no driver, lets try another nic ... Just sayin'... -Ed _______________________________________________ SlackBuilds-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slackbuilds.org/mailman/listinfo/slackbuilds-users Archives - http://lists.slackbuilds.org/pipermail/slackbuilds-users/ FAQ - http://slackbuilds.org/faq/
