VMware set up Steps

Prodigious · #1 09-02-2016

Hi Gurus
I have 2 different WiFi at my premises.
I want to set up two different windows XP on the VMware for 2 accounts.
when i installed windows 2 time,I can not see any option for WiFi connection.
It is taking the host internet.
Is there any way i can see the separate options for the WiFi connection on the both windows XP

Can some one walk me through to set up

1-typical or custom.
2-if custom then how to select network type
3- what to select I/O Controller Type
4-What to select in Disk Type IDE/SCSI/SATA

Thanks in advance

The problem is, you can't connect to 2 different wifi's with 1 wifi adapter. Now, you have setup 2 Windows XP VMWares correct?

OK, in order to connect each VMWare to each of your WIFI connections...your going to need 2 separate WIFI adapters.

Question: Do you have a wifi adapter connected to your PC and if so, is it being used already?

Got it, so at this point your going to need to buy a separate wifi adapter...in your case a USB one.

Here is one I am using myself:

Now, have you had success connecting your laptop + VMWare to 1 of your Wifi's?

After you install the wifi adapter, you need to activate it on the VMWare you wish to use. I'm not home right now but when I get home I'll show you.
