[G4] Connecting from my Mac to my Virtual PC Windows XP

[Mel Krewall]

Billy,
What do you mean when you say "connect"? If the VPC is on the same 
machine that you want to connect to, you can install VPC Extras and 
share your Mac hard drive with the VPC instance. You can manipulate the 
same files in Windows as you could in the Finder. The Go menu only 
works from a network perspective and VPC default is shared networking, 
meaning that the Windows instance and the Mac use the same network 
connection, therefore they wouldn't understand connecting to one 
another. Sharing the disk between Windows and Mac is probably the way 
you want to go.
