<p>&nbsp;Get the intel drivers from&nbsp;<a href="http://www.intel.com/support/network/sb/cs-006120.htm">e1000 NIC</a>&nbsp;(32bit) and install them in your vm. Once installed make sure you configure the network card properties with the correct VLAN tag. Then make sure that you assign the VLAN tag 4095 to the virtual machine's portgroup.</p>
