Mac Forum / Applications / Virtual PC / April 2006Virtual PC 7 no longer accessing the Internet.
I have never had problems accessing the Internet from Virtual PC 5, 6, or 7 until recently. When OSX update 10.4.6 downloaded onto my computer, all of a sudden I could no longer access the Internet from Virtual PC 7. I've tried reformatting my Mac's hard drive. I've reinstalled Windows onto Virtual PC. I've tried not allowing automatic updates to happen so that the version of 10.4 that came with my Power Mac is all that's on there. This gives me access to the Internet for a little while, but it suddenly stops as I start updating my computer. I called Apple Support. They say it's a problem with Virtual PC. Microsoft wants $35.00 to tell them about this problem. Why does Microsoft ask for $35? Do you have a legal version of VPC 7? Even though I am using it at work, they were helping me for free like an individual customer. Try calling 866-474-4882, this is VPC tech support number. They will definitely help. Cheers, Sergey Thanks. I'll try that number. When I went to the Virtual PC support page, I found that one could get email support or phone support at $35.00 per incident. My copy is legal. VPC provides 2 free support incidents. After that, it's $35 per incident Thanks so much for the heads up. I called today. The support rep helped me "turbocharge" the Internet connection. To do this, she had me go to Internet Connections, Local Area Connection, and put in the following DNS server for Windows to use: 4.2.2.2 This is as opposed to letting Windows find a DNS server. It works both for ethernet and for airport. It works for shared networking and for virtual switch. |
