Hi – thanks a lot – this tip saved many time. I tried so many things – on vista64(host) with vista32 guest system no internet was available. After i filled the dns there is internet connection (NAT). Thats funny because virtual pc 2007 is running fine on my other PC (vista32 host and xp or vista32 guest – i never had to do something to have internet connection in VPC)…Strange that !!!

Thanks! It seems other desktop virtualization apps suffer from the same problem when using W2K3 Server as a guest. Either VMware or VirtualBox, or both.

[...] – If you are a developer, download Silverlight 3 Tools for Visual Studio and install. If you run your environment in a Virtual PC (like most of the SharePoint developers do) you will encounter problems when you have no internet connection from within your Virtual PC. Until the beta version of Silverlight 3 you could use the trick to copy the content of the temporary folder while the exe was aching to install, and then install everything separately, but this time you will not find the Silverlight.3.x_Developer.exe file to enable Silverlight debugging in Visual Studio so you DO need an internet connection this time. (To enable internet access from within your VPC, I can recommend this post). [...]

Perfect solution to my puzzling no-inet issue with Windows 7 RC1

I now have a working Win7 RC using VPC on Vista. Very happy!

Thank you so much

Thanks a lot for your article. I am running Wampp on my working pc and use virtual pc 2007 for testing ie6/ie7 display in web design.
Was wondering why NAT was working with xp but not with Windows 7 until I found this. You really made my day!
