Speed-up and usage tips for IE6 in VirtualPC
Authored by: dcoyle on Feb 02, '05 09:09:06PM

Here's the rest of the post. Don't know why it got clipped.

Name it something like "Show IP.bat" and insert the following two lines:
IPCONFIG
PAUSE

Now when you start XP or whatever, you'll get a DOS box displaying your IP address.

In the RDC client, just enter the IP address of your hosted Windows computer and connect. For those using wireless connections to your router, I don't know what to tell you. I am using a wired connection and don't have any issues at all. Maybe someone out there knows the answer.

If anyone else gives this a shot, please write in and let the rest of us know what kind of results you get. I'm kind of cramped for time and can't really do much in the way of benchmarking right now.

Speed-up and usage tips for IE6 in VirtualPC
Authored by: missinglina on Mar 16, '06 11:34:36AM

Dan, I know this post is old, but I just found it. I wonder why I can't connect the way you can. I can see the virtual pc in my Finder>Network,
I can browse on the virtual pc running Windows XP Professional just fine. I ran the ipconfig to find out its ip address. I enter that address in the remote desktop connection. In virtual pc settings, virtual switch is set to built-in ethernet. It gives you 2 choices: default or built-in ethernet. They both word as far as getting connectivity in the virtual pc. I'm using virtual pc 7 by the way and I'm on a dual G5.

I notice when I run the ipconfig that the default gateway is different from my router address, and the ip address is completely different from the mac's. The mac's starts with 172. XP' starts with 192. Is this the problem? Thanks for any help.
