That is because the packets never reach the guest, they get corrupted by the Host. Wiresharking the traffic you will see packets leaving the Guest system, and responses coming back, but never acknowledged by the Guest. ![]() If your Host system uses an Intel card (and based on some reading, applies to some Broadcom cards as well), you aren't done yet. Which is where all the "you must not be doing it right" comments come from. Based on other posts, at this point if your network switch is configured correctly to handle the VLAN, you should be done. It is easy, you tell it the VLAN you want to use and it creates a virtual network device. ![]() Now, that Proset is installed, you can open the properties of the network card and see several new tabs, one of which is VLAN Tagging. Once the driver has been updated, you can run the AutoRun on the CD to install the full driver package that includes the ProSet features. Next, you have to manually install/update the driver for the Intel network card (update the driver, browse your local system, and pick the driver from the list of drivers), otherwise, Windows will tell you it has a better driver already in place. You need to search for an older driver CD. The latest driver CD from Intel (19.5) will give you the error message "No Intel adapter found" and will refuse to install. ![]() on Intel's website and search for "ethernet CD" As it turns out some are more useful than others. Intel has a great page full of useful driver packages. You get this software addition when you install the full driver downloaded from the Intel site. Intel provides a driver enhancement (not part of the base driver install) called ProSet and Advanced Settings. You will find that there is no place to configure VLAN tagging natively in Windows. The other Intel adapters will also work, but this is the one that I used. Make sure your VM can access the network using the Intel Pro/1000 MT Server adapter, set to Bridged Adapter. Once you have a bootable, functioning Windows 2008R2 guest installed, you can proceed to configure the VLAN tagging. ![]() You have a correctly configured network switch with trunking setup to allow the VLAN you are attempting to enable on the Guest system. Network Card: Intel 82579LM Gigabit (Also shouldn't matter, but it actually does) I was unable to find any single post with all the answers (and way to many "you must be doing it wrong") to all the nagging problems that arose at each step, so I thought I would consolidate the information here and hopefully help some other soul.ĭell Optiplex 7010 w/ 8GB RAM (shouldn't matter) After spending a day beating my head against VBox and VLAN tagging, I finally got it all working. ![]()
