Shared Networking Problem

[Greg]

I'm using Virtual PC 7 for the Mac. (PPC dual G5).

I am running VPC 7 with Windows XP Professional vs. 2002 Service Pack 2.

Under the VPC 7 software "PC Settings" for "Networking" I have the following
configured:

ˆ Enable networking
ˆ Shared Networking

I have a Linksys Wireless router which is set for DHCP. Windows is set up
for DHCP as well. I even went as far as entering Windows Ethernet address in
security on the router. My Windows network has successfully been able to
share the Mac's internet connection with no problems before. Even under Mac
OS X Leopard.

Nothing has changed in Windows during successful internet connection or
prior to my problems.

Since Microsoft dumped us- I am hoping current users will be able to help
me. Since at the current time there are no great emulation packages for
non-intel Macs.

Thanks for your help.

If I understand the Networking Setting properly the Shared Networking uses
the Mac's IP address with XP. You would want to change that setting to
Virtual Switch. This will make XP get it's own IP address and act like a
completely different machine on the network.

Lastly make sure you are running the latest version of VPC 7.03. Not that
it will make a difference specifically to this issue it does help being up
to date.
