Loss of connection in virtual machine with virtualbox.

Post by ElCeguIT »

Hello Community;

I have a Windows 10 and I have installed VirtualBox 6.1 to virtualize a virtual machine with Windows XP.

I am using the network adapter as a bridge, but I am verifying that the network is being lost to the virtual machine with Windows XP, but not with Windows 10.

Any TS to follow?

How did you verify that XP cannot access the network? Can you ping your gateway router? Can you ping a public IP like 8.8.8.8 ? If you can, your network is fine.

The browser in XP is much too old to see modern web sites. You need to find a modern browser which works in XP. I use SeaMonkey 2.49.1 . Later versions will not run in XP.
