<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>.
