Getting online with Virtual PC

[Liz]

I installed Virtual PC for one reason only... to be able to view sites
through Internet Explorer on a PC... but I am having problems setting up my
internet connection through Virtual PC.

Yes, I have tried using "Shared Networking" where it is supposed to share a
connection with the Mac.

Yes, I have tried using the "Virtual Switch" that creates a separate IP
address from the Mac.

None of these things seem to be working. Does anyone have a solution? Can
someone walk me step-by-step through the process of setting up a connection?
(For high-speed internet.)

Thank you!

Can you please repost to an appropriate news group - this is for the support
of Microsoft Office, not any operating system or OS add-ins.
