I’m trying to use Windows XP by virtual box on Ubuntu, but when I open windows it does not connect on the internet. And does not show the network icon in the bottom right corner as shown.imagem da VM rodando

I’ve tried switching from NAT to Bridge, etc. But it doesn’t work at all.

  • Installing Windows XP is divided into two parts. A primeira is the installation itself and the segunda is the installation of drivers. You correctly performed the segunda part? During the installation of the VirtualBox was installed the pacote de extensões of the same?

  • I believe so. I changed the type of board to Pcnet-FAST III and it now shows the network icon in the bottom right corner. But it appears with an exclamation "null or limited connectivity".

If you haven’t solved it, make sure the VM is picking up DHCP IP from your local network (example: 192.168.0.0/24). For this you can use the following command:

ipconfig /all

Try renewing the network card.

ipconfig /release && ipconfig /renew

If the VM has not yet taken the IP, try to set it statically on the machine. For this, you can follow the instructions of this FAQ: https://www.tp-link.com/br/support/faq/14/. Make sure the machine has already picked up the IP and test the network communication again.

ipconfig /all
ping 8.8.8.8

If you have not answered yet, check if any dependency or driver of your Virtual Box is missing. For this you can use Synaptic or do "nail" hehe.

sudo apt-get clean && sudo apt-get update
dpkg –configure -a
sudo apt-get install -f

Hope I helped, hugs!

  • Thanks! I ended up getting by installing the ISO of Windows 7, the problem was with the ISO of windows XP. Hence, it already connected automatically.
