Hi.
I've got the Internet PARTIALLY working. Some sites work, other don't. Here are some examples:
These Sites Work:
https://www.google.com/, https://www.amazon.com/, https://www.amazon.ca/, https://www.netflix.com/ca/,
https://www.virtualbox.org/, index.php
These Sites DO NOT Work: (Message Displayed: Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage)
https://www.walmart.com/, https://www.crutchfield.com/, https://www.bing.com/,
https://www.britannica.com/, https://duckduckgo.com/, https://ubuntuforums.org/,
What I've done is arbitrarily find valid websites on FireFox in the Host Machine, and cut/paste the URLs into Internet Explorer on the Guest.
I cannot find any pattern as to why some sites work, and why other do not????
Here is my VM Machine Setup - In Settings, Network:
Bridged Adapter, Intel PRO/1000 MT Desktop eth0 , Promiscuous mode: Allow All.
In Internet Explorer, I've set Pop Up Blocker Off, security: medium,
(which stipulates "Unsigned ActiveX Controls will not be downloaded")
Maybe there is some Parameter set in Windows Explorer Internet Options ??
For example, In Tools, Advanced: Use SSL 3.0 and Use TLS 1.0 are checked.
Should I try updating Windows Explorer on the Guest ?
Any suggestions,
M....

Re: Internet PARTIALLY working
If you've got any internet, you've got internet. This is the problem:
IE8 is just too old for modern internet. You'll need a more modern browser in the VM.MikeGreen9 wrote:Internet Explorer 8.0
You'd have to ask Microsoft that one.MikeGreen9 wrote:Maybe there is some Parameter set in Windows Explorer Internet Options ??
