Hi,
I'm not sure if this is the right section or not, but I just wanted to know if it is possible to get WiFi on my Windows 98 SE VM. I have looked at numerous YouTube tutorials, but to no success. If you need any details on my VM, then just ask. A quick answer would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Nathan.

Re: Windows 98 SE Wifi?
No, it isn't possible.
It doesn't really matter what the guest OS is, VirtualBox does not provide a simulated wireless NIC. The only way you can possibly get an actual wireless NIC into the VM (even assuming you have a genuine reason to need that) is it attach a USB NIC directly - and that isn't possible for Win98 because you can't get drivers for that OS.
Why do you care what kind of networking hardware the guest OS has access to? Most people are happy just that it works (though it possibly won't, given that your choice of Internet Browsers is also many years behind the times).
