I am new to handling VMs and on Mac OS

Post by JM2006 »

Hi there

I use VirtualBox and installed Windows XP VM on a Mac OS device.

However I cannot appear to get internet connected in order to download games that work on XP as I got nostalgic stuff I want to play

These dont work on 7 or 10 so I'm using an XP device.

Internet Explorer then says page cant be displayed and doesnt pick up the folder i mapped on my Mac OS X.

I looked at several videos on Youtube to no avail

Could any assistance be given please?

No internet for a WinXP/98/95 guest

Since you have XP, you can use Guest Additions to set a host folder to be shared in the Virtualbox Shared Folders settings, then download the installers on the host and copy them into the VM..
