Getting a Bridge Network to work in Fusion

[apcpa2000]

Good Morning - I set up my iMac (w/Leopard) with Fusion running XP Home this week. I got the NAT setting for the internet connection on the virtual machine working fine, however I was informed I needed a Bridge connection to use my VPN. When I changed the setting to bridge the internet stopped working in its entirety. When I switch back to NAT is works fine again.

Is there some type of setting on Leopard that I need to do to actual have a "network" that is being shared, rather than just sharing the internet connection. I am currently using a cable modem as my internet connection. If setting up a wireless network would work I am not opposed to trying that.

Any help or suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Thanks.
