Once Again, Virtual Machine is Having Connectivity Issues

[CubisticWings4]

Good Morning and Happy Monday!

 

I have had this problem before and found out it was an incorrect setting on the virtual machine. I had been setting it to NAT instead of Bridged. 

 

Recently, our entire network had a complete stroke and had to reset everything. Since then, the virtual machine (running Windows XP) is showing that a network cable is unplugged.

 

1. I checked the physical connection to make sure it hadn't come loose.

 

2. Re-Checked Virtual Machine settings to make sure the connection is bridged.

 

3.Tried using both WiFi and Ethernet.

 

Anything else I should try?

if you are using hyperv make sure the network adapter is a legacy one

Since I don't know what HyperV is, I'm gonna assume I'm not using it.

I have no idea. Since I don't even know what Hypervisor is.

VMware. Free Edition.

Figured it out:

 

Antivirus blocked the installation of VMWare Bridging protocol. Had to remove antivirus and reinstall VMWare, which was a pain in the cunning linguals.
