Just tried changing the network from NAT to bridged (the replicate physical network connection state checkbox was left unchecked) but still no connection.
Windows 10: Internet connection problem on Windows 2000 VM

Hi there
On a VM the W2K O/S doesn't need to worry about Wifi or LAN since it's the HOST that controls access.
The VMware virtual adapter should take care of everything -- usually a 1Gb/s connection -- although if Host wifi is slow you obviously won't get 1Gb/s Internet access on the VM.
Virtual hardware is the whole point of being able to run legacy OS'es -- for example you couldn't run W98 with a screen resolution of 4K (the new Ultra HD TV's). Works fine as a VM though !!!.

My VM is using virtual hardware version 5. The internet speed is 1Gbps on the VM but my host internet is nowhere near that speed. Heck, sometimes I can't even get 1Mbps out of it.jimbo45 said:

I'm still having my problem; replies seem to have dried up.
I tried editing the VMX file as stated on https://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/mi...externalId=507 to no avail. I also read that use can use SysPrep to change the USID, however SysPrep doesn't seem to be available on Win 2000.

Do you have the latest service pack for 2000? Did you try my suggestion of using it in bridge mode?

Hi there
If using VMWARE did you install VMware tools on the VM. For Virtual box it's VBOX additions.
I'm getting no problems with W98 VM with the HOST wifi adapter as a 5GHZ USB3 wifi adapter. VM thinks it's Ethernet LAN !!! and works brilliantly. USB3 and wifi - especially 5GHZ were still science fiction dreams in the time of W98 !!!!
Host is running latest version of W10 pro X-64 VMware workstation rel 12.1.

Hi there.
@TipsyGypsy
I'll fish out a copy of W2K and see what happens. I've only got W2K Pro though.
I didn't use too much of W2K as I thought W23K (Win2003) was far better for desktops and I even fiddled around with W23K server to make it work really well as a desktop OS too.
Might take me a few days as I've got a couple of other projects on currently but I'll definitely have a go for you -- installing this type of VM on decent hardware shouldn't take too long --I'll probably have to filch an ISO from somewhere but I've got a valid key.
Cheers
