Re: Cant get Internet on Guest (WindowsXP). Host=MacOS Sierra
Please do not change the defaults. So, switch to one adapter only, attached to NAT, with the "Intel PRO/100 T server". Note that it's the "T" variant, not the "MT" one.
Now, can you please define "no internet"? Here's the test to see if you have an active internet connection: 1) ping 8.8.8.8, and 2) ping google.com. If both of these work you do have an active connection to the internet.
I have a feeling that your definition is "I can't access website XYZ". If that's the case, then it's not an internet connectivity issue, it's a browser issue. The default browser with XP is IE6, which is way, way too old. Plus the security certificates installed with the system are outdated.
Your best option is to install a different browser, like Firefox which will end support for WinXP in Sep/2017. See: Important - Firefox is ending support for Windows XP and Vista for more details.
