Windows 10: Software connected to LAN on XP, but not on Windows 10

Hello all,I recently upgraded my operating system from windows XP SP3 to windows 10pro.The problem is that I have a software that worked perfectly under XP, but which, once installed on Windows 10, cannot exchange data with other devices on the LAN network. With the same network configurations as under XP, the software does not even connect to the LAN network. However, the ping towards all the IP addresses of the network shows that everything is fine. But still, the software is not connected.On other forums I have been told about certain security updates under windows 10 which could be the cau

Windows 10 pro using Win Xp in Hyper-v connecting to LAN problem

Hi Guys,
Im new to the Windows 10 world, I am working with a small company with very outdated software...and hardware for that matter.
I am trying to upgrade a PC to a new Desktop running windows 10 pro, that was the easy part. All the other old systems are running Windows XP and are connected to a central computer running Windows 2003 server. The software we use wont run on windows 10 so I am using Hyper V on the Windows 10 PC to emulate XP to connect to the server and be able to use the software for the business.

I have a Hyper-V XP set up and have been able to add the network adaptor (Realtek PCIe GBE Family Controller) through the virtual switch manager, but can not get it to show up.

Hyper V aside I can not see the network I am trying to connect to from the regular Win 10 drives and devices list either, I am assuming it is because Server 2003 can not see Win 10, but I have been fooled before.

So I am running out of ideas on how to solve this without re inventing the wheel, any suggestions would be great, hoping there is a simple solution that I have not banged my head against the wall lon enough to notice.
Thanks in advance

 

Windows 10 pro using Win Xp in Hyper-v connecting to LAN problem

Hi Megaman, welcome to Ten Forums.

Windows XP guest in Hyper-V cannot use the normal virtual network adapter, it needs a so called legacy adapter instead. See Part Five: Create a legacy Windows virtual machine (Windows Vista or earlier) in this tutorial to fix your issue: Hyper-V virtualization - Setup and Use in Windows 10

Remove the current NIC (instructions with screenshot in tutorial step 5.4), add a legacy NIC (step 5.5), connect legacy NIC to your external Realtek switch (step 5.6).

That's it, your Windows XP guest should now have network and Internet access.
