VPC: going online

[QCassidy352]

I just put VPC 6 on my powerbook, and installed windows 98 (I know, I know). Now, I want to be able to connect to the internet (launch IE) within the windows environment. However, when I try, I get a page forcing me to set up an MSN account, and to configure a modem to use. Well, I want no part of their MSN account, and I connect through ethernet.

Is there a way to just make the windows environment connect using my existing ethernet connection and provider? thanks!

Ok, I figured it out. I feel silly now. :o

But another question:

VPC appears in a tiny window. That makes it really hard to see web pages and such. I can run it "full screen" but that just hides the OS X back drop and displays the windows emulation in the same small window, but now surrounded by black. Can I make the actually viewing window bigger?

Why can't you just do whatever you need to do on the mac and than copy it over to vpc?

I didn't see your second post before I posted. In VPC 6 Go to the control menu and click enter full screen mode or something like that. Hold down the cmd key and go to the control menu and click windowed mode.

um, ok, figured that one out too. Sorry for all the posts!

In answer to your question, because I've never used VPC before and don't know what I'm doing. :)

To make VPC's window bigger, change the resolution in Windows.
