Mac Forum / Applications / Virtual PC / June 2007Internet in virtual PC doesn't work after bringing Mac home from office
I had Virtual PC 7 (win XP) running on a G5 with OS X Panther. I had this at work (Ethernet connection, T1 link to internet, and DHCP from our IT department's server) and everything worked great. Now, I brought the computer home, where it's plugged into the Ethernet port of a Linksys router (connected to a cablemodem). The G5's network connection is just fine. However, my virtual PC cannot see the network. I've tried it as both Shared Networking and Virtual Switch, and no dice. It can't ping my router (192.168.1.1)... I know nothing about the way XP handles internet and I've been through all the control panel stuff and don't see anything odd. Any suggestions for how to fix or troubleshoot?

I can't ping 192.168.1.1, which is the router that hands out IP addresses, but it does somehow end with a 192.168 address (given by the Mac with which it's sharing a connection?).

If you get replies, try pinging www.yahoo.com If no replies to yahoo.com, then it's a DNS issue and you can add 4.2.2.2 as the DNS server in the Network Connections in Windows. |
