Hey guys recently installed virtual pc 7.0.3 and I’m having the hardest time getting shared networking under windows xp guest. When I enable shared networking under virtual pc xp setting it stays stuck at acquiring network address when powered on….now if I select network switch under virtual pc settings it works fine on Ethernet if I have it pluged into a wired connection but when I’m on airport I can’t get nat working am I doing something wrong?…is it a leopard issue?….I don’t seem to remember having this issue under tiger and I know virtual pc was kinda on life support when leopard was released
 
There was a VPC 7 update that was released shortly after the initial release that took care of some problems with Leopard. Did you install that?

If so, then, yeah, this was always a bit touchy.
