Can't access internet from inside Virtual Box

Question

I have used Virtual Box on my system before and was able to access the internet. I just reinstalled Virtual Box and installed XP inside it. I cannot access the internet from within.

When I look in the device manager under network adapters, it is showing "VMWare Accelerated AMD PCNet Adapter." It says the device cannot start.

Answer 1

I found the solution. I right-clicked on the network card in the device manager and two cards showed up. I selected the other card and it worked.

Answer 2

Have you rebooted your physical machine? Sometimes after a reinstall of VBox, the OS needs to restart the appropriate drivers and/or virtual devices (in this case, I think VBox uses a virtual networking card which needs to be restarted).
