Hi,
I am creating a windows 95 virtual machine and followed the directions exactly given in the link below.
VMware Documentation for Windows 95
However, the network adapter does not function. I have the latest version of VMware tools installed but it does not seem to include any network adapter driver.
I have tried to download the driver for AMD PCNET Family Ethernet Adapter (PCI&ISA) from the AMD website but that did not work either. I have a functioning virtual machine of Windows 95. However, it was created from an image of a physical machine. The ethernet adapter works fine in that machine but it does not have any driver installed - doesn't require one apparently.
If anyone has any idea on how to make the ethernet adapter work I would be eternally grateful!
Following is the configuration I have for the Windows 95 VM I created:
