I am not certain this works with XP, as I use 98.  When you launch VPC 
click the settings button, go to networking, enable networking.  I use 
the 1st option shared networking via sockets.
This is from Mac Help VPC help.  There is a lot of useful information 
in help.

Shared Networking
When this option is selected, the PC shares the TCP/IP address of the 
Mac.

When you select Shared Networking, you are able to alternate between 
the Mac and PC, and access the Internet without resetting any network 
information.

I am only guessing that it may work the same in XP as it does in 98.

I hope I have been helpful.  If you need more help you might want to 
give the X4U list a try as there is more traffic and many more helpful 
members.
