Ok, it is essential I connect to the web via IE6 on my Mac, so I have installed VirtualPC as recommended on this forum. I have installed Windows 2000 and all seems to be running fine. The instructions for connecting to the internet this way require that you network to the Mac OS via LAN and use the Mac internet connection, which I have set up. However, my PC based browser cannot connect to the web. It opens but fails to find a connection. Any ideas. please? Thanks in advance, Andy. My Mac connection is AOL, and I'm using Explorer on the PC. %00

select the PC in the PC list in VirtualPC. then goto edit> "settings.." then click networking , and switch it on. hope this helps. Joshua Coventry Apple Computer Specialist

Thanks Johsua but I've tried all the standard procedures and settings. When I start up the PC browser it seems to think it's connecting, but then it says it can't find the server. All the network settings are correct in accordance to the manual. I was wondering whether it might be something to with the fact that my Mac connects via AOL? %00

i think you need to set AOL up on the PC emulation as well. Joshua Coventry Apple Computer Specialist

I had Virtual PC on my old Mac, but I just bought a new G5 Mac. Unfortunately, Virtual PC will not run on a G5 yet. Do you know any other way of installing Windows on a G5, without having to buy the new "Microsoft" version of Virtual PC, which comes out next month? I paid for ($25) and downloaded: OpenOSX http://openosx.com/ but could not get it to work. This program seemed to be a good alternative but somehow was missing something. Do you have any suggestions?
