Hi,
Im running VPS 2007 and have setup a 2003 server pc on it im trying to
connect it to the school server so as to login remotely through my laptop.

But after i created the serevr 2003 through vpc machine wizard it couldnt
connect, it would come up loading client mac addr:
then DHCP..... then would say no dhcp or proxy dhcp servers available
then reboot and select proper boot device.

Any idea how to make it work and allow me to connect to server?

You do NOT *create* a server 2003 or anything like that via the
VPC2007 wizard! All you do is create the proper virtual machine for
the selected operating system to work in.
The next step is to supply installation media (DVD or ISO image of the
DVD) and install the operating system into the virtual PC you have
created.

The Wizard is similar to a guide telling you which motherboard and RAM
and hard disk size to buy when you build your own PC in order to run a
particular operating system.
You also need to *buy* the operating system unless you try installing
Linux (free). But going to Linux is an uphill battle in any Microsoft
virtualization product, whereas it is a breeze in VMWare....
