We have adjusted the settings on the guest so the the nic is
configured as a
shared device / br0 / Device Model=virtio.  Now after it boots the
thing says
that it does not have a driver for Ethernet adaptor at all.  Is there a
different setting for the model that I should be using?

I have to point out that this thing was originally installed from
cd-rom and
then updated from the internet. So at some point it must have had a
working
network connection.  Any ideas as to how to get it to find the network
interface again?


James,

on the client, which driver do you use? Mine is 'Red Hat VirtIO Ethernet
Adapter' 61.65.104.7400 20/11/2013. I got it from virtio-win-0.1-74.iso

A newer VirtIO Driverpack can be found here:

I can only guess that the Windows VM hadn't been configured before to use any VirtIO interface, neither for network, nor for VirtDisk access. OP should install the drivers from the ISO and then switch the disk device model as well to VirtIO for best performance.
