losing network connection sco unix guest

[wlochu]

I wanted to communicate about the problem with the operation of a virtual machine guest SCO UNIX version 5.0.6, VirtualBox 3.0.2 running on Linux (openSUSE 11.0). Guest after a few minutes, losing the connection to the network, continue to operate but does not have a stable network, the network adapter to the guest PCnet-PCI II (bridged adapter), add that to the version of VirtualBox 2.1.4 everything worked.

Please add logfile.

Can you do some more tests? Is there any reason for using the PCnet-PCI-II model instead of the (default) -III model? Any chance to test the E1000 device?

The only card to which the drivers are under sco unix 5.0.6, it is the PCnet-PCI II, PCnet-PCI III also works with drivers PCnet-PCI II. E1000 for the time being tested because it involves the installation of additional drivers under the SCO test but I will know.

I tested PRO/1000 MT Desktop interface, the connection to the network is stable. However, this does not change the fact that he has operated a network of sco unix on the PCnet-PCI II, and VirtualBox 2.1.4 very stable and 3.0.2 not.

Please reopen if still relevant with VBox 4.0.4.
