- Virtualbox Ethernet Controller Driver Not Found In Windows 10
I’m trying to set up a Windows XP VirtualBox (with Oracle’s VirtualBox) yet it seems I don’t have drivers. In the guest Windows XP, the network section is empty, typing ipconfig in command prompt does nothing. Apparently my install doesn’t have device manager either, so so much for that. I just want it so that I can connect the other bloody virtual machines to it, yet I haven’t got the slightest clue as to what is going on.
I have it on host-only adapter, but I believe the problem is in the guest OS, as it doesn’t have a local connection section and the networking section is blank.
Network Controller No Driver Found
See how to manually install the Intel® Network Adapter Drivers for all Windows*. If there is no driver installed for that device it will show up with a yellow. Failed to open/create the internal network Vagrant on Windows10. Virtual Box was configured to use Realtek PCIe GBE Family Controller while device manager had this as. After doing that i reinstall Docker Toolbox and VitualBox and use machzqcq tips to check the install virtualbox with NDIS5 driver. I found the answer here: https. Does the guest not even see a NIC in device manager? Or does it see one with an exclamation point, indicating drivers are not installed/loaded. Jan 10, 2016 I checked device manager and find that I'm missing the Ethernet controller drivers. My specs are: CPU: Intel(R) Pentium(R) dual CPU E2200 @ 2.20Ghz. See if its there.if so does it have an exclamation mark beside it,indicating a problem? If its there try updating the driver from there. If that doesnt work try uninstalling it from device.

Windows XP doesn't have drivers for the Intel PRO/1000 card. Try selecting the PCNet FAST III network card instead. You can set it in the VM settings.

Depending on what you are trying to achieve with your network adapter settings, host-only is not the correct setting for you if you actually want the VM to have a network connection outside of the host you are running it on...
I am running an XP VM with fairly recent version of Oracle VirtualBox, and my network settings are as follows (configured as Adapter 1):
Attached to: Bridged Adapter
Name: (Here you select your host card from the dropdown)
Under Advanced:
Adapter Type: PCnet-FAST III (Am79C973)
Promiscuous Mode: Deny
MAC Address: (Just hit the refresh button to the right)
Tick 'Cable Connected', make sure it is checked.
Also remember to install your Guest additions:

Download the right driver from here
Move and install the driver on your windows XP using the shared folder
Power off the machine
Configure the your adapter on NAT network
Next boot you will get the network working
I had the same issue and it took me a long time to find the right adapter but you have to shut down the VirtualBox machine by selecting 'Power off the machine' - do not select 'save the machine state' or 'send the shutdown power' - to be able to access the varied list of network adapters in the Oracle VM dashboard settings. IF you don't do this, it will be greyed out and you would not be able to select anything. I had to do this each time to find the right network adapter that would finally populate..... otherwise all I had was a blank dropdown.
