Virtual Box

[jaffar99]

I was informed that I needed to use Virtual Box so I could use an older version of Windows as Windows 10 runs Mir 3 awfully.

After following tutorials on youtube I successfully created a virtual machine with Windows XP on it.

The issue I'm having is that it is not connected to the internet.

Any chance anyone has knowledge of Virtual Box and could help me out with this?

Has it got a network adapter assigned to it?
If so, are the drivers installed on the VM?

Edit: If it has a network card installed but it's just not getting the correct network/internet access, you may need to manually assign the default gateway and IP.

Think this will cover it for you

I'm not entirely sure if it has an adapter assigned to it or if the drivers are installed.

I pretty much followed this guys tutorial

Does it show as an uninstalled device in Device Manager?

SOunds like it's wither

a) No driver installed
b) It's not been added to the VM
