Windows XP in VirtualBox

Installing Windows XP is no difficult at all. However, installation completes and I am there with one problem. It does not have driver for the network adapter provided by VirtualBox. VirtualBox has 6 different adapter types. It chooses PCnet-PCI II (Am79C970A) by default. I try to change to the second one and it is still no.

So, I have to refer to the Internet. There, one blog post says to download the driver from the vendor and install it. I click on the url provided by the blog.The first one is the most appropriate link for me. I download that one and install it on Windows XP and it works. :) Finally, I am using the adapter, PCnet-PCI III (Am79C973).
