I am running Windows Virtual machine on Windows 7 Pro. I installed the "XP mode" and then went to create a second virtual machine (using an XP Pro install disc). One XP finally installed, it doesn't seem to connect to the internet. It keeps wanting to connect via an Ethernet connection and doesn't seem to recognize my WiFi connection. I tried a few different things in the network connection wizard, but all failed. Any suggestions?

Instead of installing a new XP machine, should I have just duplicated the existing one? Is that a true seperate machine if I just copy and paste it within Windows Virtual PC?

Hi, According the issue, I just wonder that your wireless card based on PCI or USB? If it is a USB wireless card, please check your network setting to connect the device. In case, you are currently using a PCI wireless card, thus you can only use NAT to connect to the internet. As a simple way, you may compare the setting between the current virtual machine and you XP mode machine.
