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

[Billy Bacon]

The IP on the mac is similar. It's 10.0.1.2.

I can fire up a browser within WinXP and get to google so it does connect to
the internet.

I've also tried your suggestion of sharing the wireless internet to the
ethernet on the computer and that didn't seem to solve the issue either.
