Thanks - helpful
Two virtual adaptors in tghe host for two real items - one WiFi, one network - both set to DHCP as they were originally set to some strange IP range that differs from our internal 192.168.15.xxx.
There are no adaptors in the old box (VM) now - should there be? Originally it only had one tho'
The host has MS Anti-virusstuff - neverthought of that - was more concerned with theVM as it has Avira Anti Virus on it - but have turnedallthat off to no effect - now to try MS on the host
