How to have VM guest Windows XP connect with internet in host Windows 10 ?

[user1234567]

Folk,

Hello. My new computer host machine is Windows 10. I am running VMware workstation Player 12.5.

I have just copied the folder of a VM Guest machine Windows XP from another computer host Windows 7 to the new computer Windows 10.

In the host machine Windows 10, internet is working successfully, but the guest machine Windows XP cannot connect with Internet.

If the guest machine Windows XP is created in host Windows 10, the VM is automatically set up in host machine Network center.

The VM is connected with internet automatically.

Because the VM guest Windows XP is copied from another computer host Windows 7, the VM is not in host Windows 10 network center. I think we need to add the VM into host Windows 10 network center manually. But I don't know how to do it. It seems that VMware Player 12.5 doesn't install Network Adapter in Windows 10.

My question is:

How to have VM guest Windows XP connect with internet in host Windows 10 ?

Thanks in advance.

Are you using Player 12.5.1?  There were some issues with networking in 12.5.0.

Folk,

Hello. Thanks a lot for replying.

The download file is VMware-player-12.5.1-4542065. This file doesn't install network adapter for VMs in Windows 10.

In my old computer Windows 7, VMplayer 3.0 installed network adapter in Windows 7. That is VMnet1 and VMnet8.

I simply configure VMnet8 to enable 2 VMs communicate with each other and host machine and internet.

I have copied one more folder of VM Oracle Linux 5 into Windows 10. I need to enable 2 VMs can connect with internet and can communicate with each other. But there is no VMnet1 and VMnet8 in Windows 10 after install VMware Workstation Player 12.5.1.

I run the command "ipconfig" in Windows 10 as below:

C:\user\MyName> ipconfig

Its output:

Ethernet adapter Ethernet 2:

Media State: Media Disconnected

Connection-specific DNS Suffix:

Wireless LAN adapter Local Area Connection *2:

Media State: Media Disconnected

Tunnel adapter Teredo Tunneling Pseudo-Interface:

As you see the output above, Windows 10 is not the same with Windows 7. There is no VMnet1 and VMnet8 to configure for VMs network.

My questions are:

1) The 2 VMs are not created in Windows 10 originally and are copied folder. Does it cause Network Adapter problem ?

2) How to have VMnet1 and VMnet8 come up in Windows 10 Network Adapter so that we can configure the network for 2 VMs ?

Thanks in advance.
