Hi,
I'm relatively new to using virtual box and I have a problem with USB
ports in a guest W'98 XP..
Of course I read the manual and added myself to the group "vboxusers"
and expected to see an external harddisk - connected via USB - and an
external device (weatherstation) also connected to USB. However, no
external device is detected and the device menu gives as USB-ports the
name of the device - I have no filters installed as "unknown device..."
... being 3 numbers separated by a :(double dot?).
With lsusb I get: "Bus 003 Device 005: ID 1130:6801 Tenx Technology,
Inc.", indicating the system recognizes the device.
The system: AMD Phenom II 910 4 GB memory Ubuntu jaunty (9.04).
I can't understand why the guest OS doesn't see the USB device(s).
Can anybody help me out?
Thanks in advance
Joep

Did you enable the USB devices under Settings in the GUI Vbox Manager, before
starting the Guest XP system?

Thanks for your reply.
Yes. I have USB enables and tried to add a filter for the device.
However, it sometimes says "Unknown device 1130:6801 [0302] and
sometimes it gives the line "Tenx Technology".
I can enable the filter for "unknown device 1130:6801 [0302] but when I
start the guest and look at the Devices menu the filter line is seen but
grayed out.
I have no idea how to enable the USB and I don't know much of XP so I
cannot see if e.g. the USB drivers are installed. In the hardware item
in the configuration menu 2 USB main hubs are displayed and said to be
"working correct" but I don't know if I have to believe that.
Maybe you can shed some light on this problem.
Joep
