VPC 6.1 and OS X networking together on a PowerBook G4
Authored by: h3nrch on Jul 17, '04 01:11:35PM

For what it's worth, I tried exactly what you suggested and it seems to allow communication between the guest OS and the host. However, I wanted to run Windows Update to grab some critical fixes and it would just hang. I tried tracerouting from the guest to the internet successfully, but web browsing failed. Then I decided to turn off the Panther firewall on the host, and suddenly I was able to browse and run Windows Update from the guest. Obviously, it isn't ideal to run without the firewall, but if you're on a private WLAN it might be ok for you. The firewall issue needs more research to make it a successful hint.
