No Internet Access in Windows XP VM?

No Internet Access in Windows XP VM?

Hi friends,

I created a brand new virtual machine for Windows XP. My host machine is Windows 7 home edition 64 bit. Unfortunately I could not connect to internet. I tried giving my own ip address, still no luck. Diagonizing network connection resulted in following message.

So I opened the port 80, 443 and 21 in Windows Firewall settings, still no luck. Then disabled the windows firewall, restarted the vm, changed the VM settings from Bridged connection to NAT hence and forth still did not helped me. Then I just did the windows update and it was updated successfully. :)

Well guys, don't forget to perform a Windows Update.
