I am sure you can get it to connect, but running a browser under W2K
is a perilous exercise. 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. This sounds interesting, and encouraging. I am not a big fan of VMware, because it takes over too much, but maybe it deserves a closer look. Somehow, I did not get it to work with XP updates. I have not much need for it, as I still work mostly in a DOS VM under VirtualPC 2007 64-bit.

I wonder how I might test whether I have an internet connexion or not? |
