Connect Virtual PC to Internet

Written By Clayton James (CJ)

1/ Navigate to your physical network adapter that you want your VPC to use and click the Install button

2/ Highlight Service and click Add

3/ If you don’t see the Virtual  Machine Network Service click Have Disk button (mine displays as I had already added it).

4/ Navigate to the following directory: C:\Program Files\Microsoft Virtual PC\Utility\VMNetSrv and select the VMNetSrv.inf file and Ok your way back out.

5/  This should install the service and you should now see the service in your connection properties

6/ In your VPC make sure you set your network adapter to the adapter that you just installed the Virtual  Machine Network Service

7/ Internet connection from VPC :)

Here is a good blog post for a couple of other issues if Virtual Machine Network Service is installed but you still can’t get network connectivity.

Another good article by Microsoft explaining the virtual machine network settings.
