    I have Windows XP Mode  on my Windows 7 machine.

    It has been working fine for over a year and  now I find I cannot connect to the Internet on the virtual machine.

    Everything is working fine in Windows 7.

    I am connected wirelessly.

    Can someone suggest what/where to look to resolve this issue.?

    There were no updates I am aware of.

    Can internet access somehow have been blocked on my Win 7 for the virtual machine ?

    Thank you.

    Open the Settings for the vm and check which network adaptor it is using.

    I'm using NAT but I've tried all the others without any luck.

    Hi

    I take that back. I set the adapter to the same that the host machine is using and then I "rebooted" the virtual machine. That reboot seemed

    to do the trick - I didn't do this before.

    Thank you.

    It is not necessary to turn of the firewall at all.  If you have to turn off the firwall to get the connection working, then there is something else wrong with your setup.  I have never turned the firewall off on my Windows 7 and the XP Mode connects to the internet without any problem!
