Moved VHD to laptop, annoying problem (IP conflict detected)Source: microsoft.public.virtualpc Sent: 09/05/2008 From: Ohaya <(email address - cut out)> Message:Hi,
I'm getting ready for a trip in a couple of weeks, so I moved a couple
of VHDs (running under VPC 2007) from my main computer to my laptop.
I created a new VMC for each VHD on the laptop after moving the VHD.
Now, when I run the guests on the laptop, I'm getting a popup inside the
guest every couple of minutes saying that "the system has detected an IP
address conflict".
I've done "ipconfig /release" and "ipconfig /renew" on the guests, but
still have the same problem. I've also tried setting a fixed IP address
that I know doesn't exist on my network, and I still get the same popup.
Does anyone know why this is occurring and how to get rid of this problem?
Thanks in advance,
Jim

As I said, I've even tried setting a fixed IP address and I've even
disabled the DHCP client in Windows Services, so I have no idea how it
could be detecting an IP address conflict.
I've also changed the MAC address in the .VMC file, and even then the
problem is still occurring.
Anyone?
Thanks,
Jim

Steve,
You're correct that I'm not using Shared Networking, but had the
"network" setting for the guest set to the wireless adapter (a Linksys).
The reason that I said "had" was I've been doing some additional
testing, where instead of the Linksys PCMCIA adapter in the laptop, I
used a Buffalo USB adapter.
With the Buffalo USB wireless adapter installed on the laptop, I think
that I'm no longer seeing those "IP conflict" messages.
I don't quite understand why switching to a different wireless adapter
on the host/laptop would cause this problem, but it apparently does :(...
Anyway, thanks for responding. Hopefully if someone runs into this
they'll find this thread and maybe it'll help them.
Later,
Jim

Well, there is some sense to that. The wireless stuff with VPC has
always been heavily dependent upon the wireless NIC's drivers. Some
work great, some don't at all. IMHO, it might be something as simple
as a driver issue confilcting with the VMNS driver.
