XP guest can't access network Win10 host

Post by benshulman »

Windows XP guest under Windows 10 host. Single network setup as attached. I have a wired Ethernet connection on the host, a Dell XPS laptop. Network access works on the host. The guest reports a network connection (second attachment) but browser can't access any site; XP activation reports no network connection. What am I missing?

The fact that the security certificates have expired about 10 years ago. You won't be able to browse the internet with the built-in browser. There are some browsers out there that you might be able to use...

If you can ping your "DefaultGateway", if you can ping "1.1.1.1", if you can ping "download.virtualbox.org", VirtualBox is working as it should.

PS. Next time, please downsize your attached images by 50% (at least), or simply change the DPI to 72. Not everyone is blessed with a HiDPI display ;)
