Odd networking issue

Using Windows 7 version of VPC as host, and a somewhat messed up P2V
job I did with an old XP/SP3 system as guest.

Host can ping guest, and guest can ping host. Guest can't get beyond
host for anything, not even to the common gateway.

No difference results based on whether firewall on either host or guest
is enabled or not.

Other guests on this host have no trouble "getting out" to rest of
network.

What else might be blocking guest from seeing the entire network?

Do you have the NIC settings set to NAT, or the real NIC in the VM settings?

Ummmm, where might I look for that?

It's in the settings for the VM. (on the host, Virtual PC folder)

Ahhh. Okay, now, mind you, this is that "frankenclone" system I've
been at odds with for a few days, so I didn't intentionally do this and
cannot begin to tell you what's up with it. <g> It's set to:

Adapter 1: Intel(R) WiFi Link 5100 AGN
Adapter 2: Intel(R) 82567LM Gigabit Network Connection

Looking at the settings for the XP Mode machine, I see it set to use
NAT. I take it that's how I should configure this other VM?

Yep, or whichever NIC you're using right now.

Well, when I set Adapter 1 to the NIC in the box, I'm back to where I
started. (Probably because I disabled the other within the VM.) Host
can ping guest and guest can ping host, but guest can't get beyond
host.

If I set it to use NAT, neither can ping the other. Timeouts when
guest pings host (or anything else), and destination unreachable when
host pings guest.

DHCP or a fixed address? Check your gateway address on both the host
and the guest to see if they are the same. Is this at home or work?
Make sure the VM is in the same subnet as the other PC's too.

You might try and just delete the connection and reboot to let it
recreate it -- it might be corrupt.

Fixed.

Check.

Work. Though I'd like the VM to be portable. It is on a laptop. I'm
on a wired connection at the moment.

Yep.

Okay, wth, not the first time that would've helped.

There is also an Unknown Device I haven't figured out yet. Probably
not related to the networking, but I think it may be VPC related as
it's device ID is "ACPI\VPCBUS\4&4B01EB&0"

Huh. Sucker won't let me delete it.
