Re: Xy4 on Win 8 /VMware / Win2K

[Myron Gochnauer goch@xxxxxxxx]

Ive been using Parallels instead of VMware on my Mac for a while now, but my recollection is that in the virtual machine configuration menus you could enable or disable internet/network access. With Parallels it is as simple as checking or unchecking the Connected box. With VMware I seem to recall choosing the type of network and perhaps a couple parameters. I had internet access with W2K and then Win7 using VMware without really knowing much about the details, so it cant be too difficult to set up!

But you need an Internet connection to update the operating system to service pack 4, and other Windows programs you might run under W2K. Alternatively, you can download the updates for most programs using Win8 and copy them to the W2K VM. Some programs may need to updated live, but you should restrict connections to the Net to this category.
