New Computer Old Hard Drive

[xoxDENISExox]

I just upgraded to a dual core machine from Pentium 4 using my old hard drive. I had to reinstall Windowx XP Pro and VM Workstation in the C drive. I did not create a new vm machine, just accessed the one saved on the D drive but everything is running slow and I have no internet access.

What do I need to do? Do i just wipe everything out and start over? I am afraid to because this existing station have a different IP address.

Thanks

Processor is AMD

The vmware.log file, is pretty long, can I attac the file here or just copy and paste it?

I did an ipconfig /all, see below:

I changed to NAT and is able to get to the internet. My old seeting was using Bridge. How come it doesn't work now?

Ok I don't know what I did and everything is working as it should. I shouldn't have smoked pot while working on this maybe i'll remember, lol )

Thanks for all the help guys, I'll be back for more questions soon

It possibly didnt work because it may have changed IP on the bridged network - if you have DHCP and it maybe got a new MAC address because it thought it had been moved perhaps? it would then be a new IP, and the new IP may not be allowed out through your router/firewall.

I just want to make sure I don't mess up the settings I have now that is working, I would like to make a backup copy of what I have. How is this done?

I am also going to connect from another location with 2 different ip address (back and forth from home and work), will it auto configure everything for me? Since I don't remember what I did to fix it the first time, I am so afraid to change anything.

[xoxDENISExox]

Should I start a new thread for my question above?

[xoxDENISExox]

As I was afraid of, I am back to my setup at home from more than a month from another country and now I don't have a connection on my VMWare. I tried to even use the backup copy and no luck.

As previously stated, I don't know how I fixed it in the first place. Someone please give me any ideas on where to start.

Thanks
