From: teafinger1986 on 12 Jan 2008 06:06 I setup an XP Pro machine on which virtual pc is installed. Within virtual pc, I have installed Vista Premium. My network connection works fine. However, the moment I startup the virtual pc/vista premium OS, I lose my network connection and can not access the internet on either the XP or virtual vista pc. The only way to restart the internet connection on the XP pc is by rebooting my terminal. The only time I lose my network connection is when I start virtual pc...otherwise my network/internet connection is fine. How can I enable my internet connection on both the XP and Vista OS when I start virtual pc. I just downloaded virtual pc today(Microsoft Virtual PC 6.0.156.0)
From: Colin Barnhorst on 12 Jan 2008 08:55 Please be aware that the EULA for Vista Home Basic and Home Premium forbids their virtualization. Only Vista Business and Ultimate are legal to be used in virtual machines. I don't agree with this zinger from MS Marketing, but that's how it is. <teafinger1986(a)gmail.com> wrote in message news:10cc2e45-6d26-43d6-bf35-5deb951fec56(a)p69g2000hsa.googlegroups.com... >I setup an XP Pro machine on which virtual pc is installed.

I actually have the ultimate edition, had this problem and to try and troubleshoot, tried the home edition. So really, it doesn't matter what version is loaded, I keep losing network on both the host and guest once I run Vista in Virtual PC. Are there any fixes for this issue?
From: Colin Barnhorst on 12 Jan 2008 14:15 The expected result of installing Vista in a virtual machine is that the guest connects to the internet immediately and the host's connection is unaffected. The default condition is that the emulated NIC in the guest is mapped to an NIC in the host. You can select which host NIC to use from the dropdown list available when you select Networking under the virtual machine's Settings. Some users of wireless adaptors do experience issues connecting a guest to the internet but if the host is using an ehternet connection then the default settings in the guest should just work. At this point you need to supply specifics of the setup you have, including the host NIC, method of connecting the host to the internet, and what changes you have made (if any) to the virtual machine's Settings since installation. <teafinger1986(a)gmail.com> wrote in message news:86b6e88c-2810-4643-aae6-5f76413a7db9(a)c4g2000hsg.googlegroups.com...

The most likely cause is that the NIC driver on the host machine does not like working with Virtual Machine Network Services. VMNS works with the NIC driver on the host to provide networking to the guest OS. You could check to see if there is an updated XP driver for your NIC. What you are trying to do should just work. It works fine on my machine. (Dell Dimension with XP Pro SP2) To avoid the problem altogether you can install a Microsoft Network Adapter in the host and use that as the basis for virtual networking. You can then clear the checkbox for VMNS in the host machine's network properties and it will not be used for virtual networking. The guest machine's NIC links to the MLA, not the host's NIC. If you want to give the guest machine Internet access you can install ICS on the host to share its Internet connection. <teafinger1986(a)gmail.com> wrote in message news:10cc2e45-6d26-43d6-bf35-5deb951fec56(a)p69g2000hsa.googlegroups.com... >I setup an XP Pro machine on which virtual pc is installed.
