How to fix Network issue on Windows VMs

Windows recently Pushed the XenServer VM Tools update which caused problems with Xen PV drivers and resulted in the Windows network adapter to stop working.

 

Please follow the below steps carefully to fix this issue.

 

Note: If you face any issues or encounter any error please don't proceed and open a support ticket without restarting the VPS.

 

    1. Login to your client area Go to My Products & Services and Select the Product for which you are facing issues

21. As a Final Step Go to the VPS Mount CD Option as described in Step 3 and Unmount the CD which we mounted earlier using Un Mount CD Option
