I am trying to run MS Virtual PC 2004 on my xp machine with windoes 95 as the virtual machine. it runs fine but i have no networking. I can see my host (xp) from within my virtual (95) machine, but not the toher way around. and I ahve no internet on connection on the 95 machine. any help. I have dialup. thanks jim

What is it you want to use the networking for between the real O/S (XP) and the virtual one (95)? If it's just simply files, then install the Virtual Machine additions (from the file menu in VPC) and then just use the "share folders" option. If it's the net, then you need to install TCP/IP in 95, as it is not installed be default. Then, you need to set it up to use DHCP. Get back if you need any more help :) Alex

i have them both seeing and sharing files now.... but still no internet. i manually set the network. Workgroup. 95 is 192.168.0.2 and the MS Loopback adapter on xp is 192.168.0.3 and both are in subnet 255.255.255.0. My dialup connection is shared. What am i missing. I tryed the IE 3.0x and nothing, I ahve installed Opera 8.2 in the 95 machine and still nothing. Thanks.

anyone have any ideas? I ahve them now sharing files fine, they see each other in the workgroup... just the virtual window 95 machine can't pull internet from the host machine XP... thanks, Jim

Hi again, Have you got a firewall loaded in XP? If so, have you given Virtual PC full access? Another problem could be your browser from the Windows 95 Virtual Machine - try and install the latest version possible (5 i believe, for 95) and when the connection wizard runs, select the "I connect from a LAN" option. Good luck

already done that, but thanks. i had this working with VMWare but i lost my cd for it... looks like i'll have to drag out my old nec 9625 machine for a few weeks...
