Thanks Wil, but not really as simple as that. I use the XP program because I use/run Coolpages webpage developer (that wont run in any later editions of Windows!) .... that I've been using quite successfully for years ... to manage my website. The last time I was able to access my website through Coolpages and XP was December 27 last. Now, since then, it's like I am unable to access the internet through VMWare, XP and the software. When I attempt to update my website (Publish) , the first screen comes up, contact is made with the server, then it all locks up and times out!

I have been running VMWare Workstation 16 using XP Pro on a Windows 10 computer quite successfully for some time. I use it to administer my webpage using the old Coolpages program that I have had for years. Due to some hacker activity my webpage server host has blacklisted the IP address that the Workstation uses and I am unable to provide the host with that address as I am unable to access the internet from within the Workstation ... although I can ping addresses using the cmd function. The most recent time it all worked beautifully was December 27 2022. My technical knowledge is somewhat limited! Any help would be most appreciated.

Fabio, thanks for the advice. My immediate problem .... pardon my ignorance ... is how do I ping the Windows XP VM towards the Windows 10 IP please?

Hi .... sorry if this is a convoluted enquiry but here goes! I have been using VMware Player ver. 12 for many years quite successfully on a Windows 7 computer. That particular computer is playing up (software issues I believe) but before wiping it clean to upgrade to Windows 10 I want to make sure that everything works on an alternative computer I have. It has Windows 10 installed and running well through the same modem, etc as the original computer. I have installed VMware ver 16 and added XP as in the original computer but for the life of me, I can't access the internet. The computer has a Netgear WG111v2 wireless adapter installed and that is working fine in the Windows 10 environment but everything I have tried using your trouble shooters etc has given me no joy. However, I must admit that my knowledge of the technical aspects is somewhat outdated! Thanks, Keva, Australia
