  <title>No Networking in Windows Vista Guests</title>
  
  <body>
    <p>
        With Windows Vista, Microsoft dropped support for the AMD PCNet
        card that legacy versions of <ph conkeyref="vbox-conkeyref-phrases/product-name"/> used to provide as
        the default virtual network card. For Windows Vista guests,
        <ph conkeyref="vbox-conkeyref-phrases/product-name"/> now uses an Intel E1000 card by default.
      </p>
    <p>
        If, for some reason, you still want to use the AMD card, you
        need to download the PCNet driver from the AMD website. This
        driver is available for 32-bit Windows only. You can transfer it
        into the virtual machine using a shared folder. See
        <xref href="sharedfolders.dita">Shared Folders</xref>.
