    Setting up the internet in Virtual PC

    At the moment I'm running Windows 95 in Virtual PC 2007, which is installed on Windows XP, and I want it to be able to access the internet. So far though, nothing seems to work - I've tried everything from manual settings to editing the registry, and it STILL doesn't work! Is there any way to make it work, because I've just about given up on the whole idea :dunno:

    For the most part the os Xp should dectect the internet connection have you tryed and i know it sounds lame but going in the command line and renewing the ip adress via ipconfig.

    I'm talking about Windows 95 within Virtual PC. It's treated as it's own OS, XP has nothing to do with it. I've already tried ipconfig (or rather, winipcfg, which is the 9x equivalent), it just shows me connection details.

    try configuring the adapter in the VM settings to your computers real one, i forget the names, been so long since i used it.
    Check the basics, then try complex stuff.
