Windows 7 in Virtual PC Internet issue?


Recommended Posts

Hi everyone. I installed Windows 7 RC under Microsoft Virtual PC 2007, but can't seem to get it to connect to the internet like I could with the Beta. I was wondering if anyone else was able to get this to work and how.

It is showing under Device Manager an Intel Based PCI Ethernet Card (Emulated). I didn't have any problems getting the Beta to work, so I would like to get the RC working, but I haven't had any luck. I had a previous thread that touched upon this (But at the time I didn't know what the cause was, so it was unclear), and I can't find the thread now...

My network is wireless, but Windows 7 is attempting to connect via a LAN that is emulated... It doesn't show me the name of the network, I can't see wireless networks that are available... It's very odd...

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks Again,

did you try changing the network card to shared connection? that way it will just use the internet connection that is allready there? Ive used VPC many times and have never ran into this problem, but i havent been using wireless.
