Re: Internet connection to Windows 95 guest on a Windows 10 computer

Hello Technogeezer,

thanks for your support. I did so as you said and which is written in your internet link. I set the network configuration back to the standard in the Virtual Network Editor. I use VM8 as a NAT connection. But in the end the Internet Explorer does not find the google site. When I make your ping test then I think to reach Google is successful. I tried also other sites without success.

I send you screenshot from the new attempt in the attachment.

Please check and advise me.

Hi Technogeezer,

thanks for your answer and your willingness to help me. Firstly, I don't intend to work with Windows 95 seriously. It was my second operating system (after Windows 3.1) and my son is interested in it, even some old games which operate with this system. I answer to both of your emails.

I attach the vmx-file for your check and some screen pictures. Maybe the error is no access to a DHCP-Server because sometimes there was such an error notice. But I don't know how to correct.

I used this site you indicated but also other ones. Many sites recommend to introduce a new protocol with Microsoft as Manufacturer and TCP/IP as a Protocoll. I have not enough knowledge with network connections.

I have also established an internet by call connection which was common in those days. I prefer a LAN connection but is it possible to make (simulate) such a connection even nowadays ?

Within network connections I have also an Ethernet virtualbox Host only Ethernet Adapter. Because sometimes I tried to check if it is possible to manage a problem in Virtualbox and then transform to VMWARE I tried also this. I hope there is no disturbance. I hope there is also no disturbance between the internet connection of different vmware machines (Windows 95, Windows 98, ...). I have tried some vmware machines.

I attach the vmx-file (as a text file, otherwise it is not allowed) and a file with some screenshots. You can see also the Internet Explorer with the error notice. If you need more information.

Internet connection to Windows 95 guest on a Windows 10 computer

mainze — Sat, 17 Jun 2023 17:17:35 GMT

Hi, I have installed a Windows 95 guest but I have many troubles to reach the internet with it. I tried many instructions in the internet but not any of them worked. Please tell me in detail how the vmware 17 software has to be set (virtual network editor and the settings of the network adapter and what I have to do within Windows 95. Do I have to arrange an internet by call connection ? I prefer a connection by LAN. It would be fine if in the knowledge base there are full instructions for such things.

Please answer in detail.

Virtuelle Maschine funktioniert bei Upgrade auf VMWare 10 pro auf Vmware Workstation 12 pro nicht mehr

mainze — Thu, 01 Jun 2017 11:03:09 GMT

Hallo,

ich habe eine virtuelle Maschine (Windows 7 32 bit), die VMWare 10 pro funktioniert hat. Ich habe nun die Virtuelle Maschine auf das Format VMWare 12 upgegradet und nun fährt sie nicht mehr hoch. Rechts unten erscheint beim Hochfahren "Virtual Printing is globally disabled on ... und "Virtual device "serial0" will start disconnected." Die Virtuelle Maschine beginnt hochzufahren, endet aber dann beim Anzeigen eines Bindestriches. Wie kann ich das Problem lösen ?

Grüße, Franz

Thanks, WoodyZ for the quick answer. I tested vmware player and you are right. The hardware settings work automatically.

Thanks WoodyZ, for the answer. It helped a lot. I am new with VMWare Player.

Thanks for the link with the right Windows Installer for 64bit. I want to ask back for the Hardware virtualisation. If I take the right 64bit-version of the Windows installer: Is it a problem, moreover, that the Windows Installer for XP is generally not suitable for my host Computer parts (because they are designed for Windows 8, possibly because of drivers) ?. And if this second problem exists: How can VMWare Player create a suitable Hardware virtualisation so that my Software is running in the virtual disk ?

Installation of VMWare Player and Software Installation in the virtual disk

mainze — Tue, 16 Sep 2014 11:09:52 GMT

Hi Folks,

I have installed VMWare Play in the free Version. I want to use the virtual disk for a Windows XP Operation System. I have the following question for my main System (Windows 8.1 64bit System standalone System).

I have installed a Windows XP 64 bit System with SP 2. I have installed in this virtual disk a Software which Need several Software components. I managed it to install all components but one. This component is WindowsInstaller -KB893803-x86 Opdate package.If Intry to install the following error notice appears: "This KB893803v2 is for a different Hardware Plattform." How can I do that this Software gets virtual Hardware Information (i. e. not the Information of the current build-in components for Windows 8.1).

Although I have made all the Settings in the Windows XP SP2 in the virtual disk on "German" the Keyboard assignment is American. How can I Change this ?

I have a Windows 8.1 64bit System on my Computer (I think it is said "Host System"). Can I install a Windows XP 32bit System in the virtual disk anyway ?

Please answer in Detail. Thank for your answers in advance.

Regards. Mainze
