ninjageek Posted July 30, 2008 CID Share Posted July 30, 2008 Ok so I decided to play with microsoft virtual pc 2007. Loaded a copy of xp in it. Everything works fine except I can not surf the net with it. Heck maybey you can't. I did check and it is showing my eithernet adapter, So am I doing something wrong or is it impossible to use the internet inside virtual pc??

The connection should be shared, you may have to install the drivers for it to work, ( in the VM ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlewis23 Posted July 30, 2008 CID Share Posted July 30, 2008 It shares the network adapter by making a virtual one. There are setting for the type of adapter to use. it should say like bridged, or shared network adapter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ninjageek Posted July 30, 2008 Author CID Share Posted July 30, 2008 Well while in the virtual machine, I right click my computer, go to hardware section, It is showing my ethernet card. Any ideas on how to change thoes settings in vm? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xshirox Posted July 31, 2008 CID Share Posted July 31, 2008 I configured mine by selecting my current ethernet adapter used & I can browse the net inside my VM. just make sure you set your VM Ethernet adapter to "Obtain IP Address Autoamtically". I'm running Windows 98 SE on VM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
