VirtualBox/Win XP - Can use telnet to retrieve web pages but IE fails
Can ping fine but no browsingBasic connectivity issues between Win 7 and XP mixed wired/wireless networkWindows 8 64-bit through VirtualBox has network problems (32-bit works fine) - what to do?Traffic between VirtualBox guests not showing up in tcpdumpVMware can ssh to gues, but can't telnetTrouble setting up more than 4 network adapters in VirtualBox (XP Guest)Bridged Networking doesn't work. Host Windows 7, Guest Ubuntu 14.04. Tried everythingVirtualBox guest can't ping or RDP other guests, can reach hostPing between Ubuntu guest VMs on VitualBoxCan telnet but nslookup failsTCP spurious retransmission and duplicate ACKs for Virtualbox guests when bridged
I'm being forced by a client to support Win XP/IE 8 for their web app that I'm developing. As such, I have followed this guide to install Win XP in a VirtualBox 6.0.4 VM (Windows 10 Pro 1809 host), which has all gone quite smoothly except for enabling internet access!
I have a fibre connection running through an ISP-supplied WiFi router, which works fine for the other PCs in my network, but not for this pesky VM. I've tried NAT, Bridged and Host-Only networking modes, as well as the PCnet-Fast III and Intel PRO/1000 MT Desktop adapters, all without any success.
Perhaps the most frustrating thing about this is that I can type e.g. telnet www.google.com.au 80 into a command prompt and it successfully connects, yet IE refuses to load any websites. I've tried resetting WINSOCK and all other options discussed here, but to no avail (I didn't expect any of that to work since I don't use a proxy and the Win XP install is fresh, but thought I'd try them anyway).
So are there any other known reasons for this kind of behaviour on XP? Or is it a VirtualBox issue? MTIA :-)

Just don't do it. Writing a new app and supporting IE8 is going to double or triple your work with no benefits at all.

@EugenRieck LOL yeah I think you may be right mate...but I've known this client for a long time and really don't want to let them down. I have explained the nightmare that supporting such an ancient OS/browser stack presents, and warned of the likely costs, but they are adamant that it MUST run on XP. Perhaps I should explain that simply diving into a pit of fire would be easier and less painful LOL :P
