Summary
I have 2 computer connected via wifi to a wifi router connected by cable to a cable modem connected to my ISP These 2 computers are connected to each other via a wifi network. On 1 machine

the host

I have installed microsoft virtual pc version 4

the vm

and here is my problem.

I did a ipconfig /all on both the host and the vm machines this came bach with the following information:- on the vm I had IP xx.x.x.xx and on the host I have IP xxx.xxx.x.xxx they are different. so I tried to ping the vm machine from the host using ping xx.x.x.xx and it timed out.

What I want to do is to have the vm machine :-
1 use the internet via the host connection
2 to be able to print via the host connection
3 access files from the host machine

I hope this is clear
