How to get the internet working on Windows XP (32-bit)?

Asked and answered a zillion times. Normally the answer is that the Internet is working fine, it's your preinstalled browser that isn't working, because it's at least a decade obsolete and in particular doesn't understand https connections used by almost all modern sites. The solution is to install a browser compatible with the Internet of 2018, but which still supports XP. My own XP VMs tend to use Pale Moon (v26.2.2), or an old version of FireFox.

Note that my answer is a guess, because you provided almost zero information.

I think your guess your right, the internet conection is fine the windows update working

im going to try your suggested alternative browsers

thank you

Marking as [Solved] and moving from the "Windows Hosts" to the "Windows Guests" section.

I know, right? And that's why I created a sticky post in the Windows Guests section, No internet on a WinXP guest. Thanks Don for the idea!
