Your post is a bit vague, what outcome are you looking for? Do you want to fix the VirtualBox setup and carry on as always? Just looking for a change from VBox and this latest is a good excuse? I have Win7 pro running on virtualbox 4.2.16, no issues here. Host kernel is 3.9.11-gentoo-r1, and the NIC presented to Windows is a nat'ted Intel PRO/1000 -- Alan McKinnon alan.mckin...@gmail.com
