I installed VirtualPC 6.1 on my iBook G3 800 today, and i installed a copy of Windows 2000.

The reason i have to use VPC is that i'm selling my iBook to my brother, and he plays internett poker via a program called Ladbrokes Poker.
And they only support Windows.

So my problem is that i can't get my Virtual Win2000 on the internet.

On my iBook i connect to the internet with AirPort on a broadband connection.

You guys know if there are some settings i have to set in VPC to get on the net.

I talked to a guy at my local apple retailer and he said it should all go automatically, but it doesn't. I also checked out the Help-pages on the VPC website but it didn't help me much.

Now my brother gave me a deadline untill tomorrow before he would go buy a PC!!!, and i don't want him to do that!

Launch VPC. Select Scripts from the menubar, and launch the Set Networking Type script. Select Shared Open Transport networking.
That should do the trick. It fixed the network connectivity problem for me, also using VPC 6.1 and Windows 2000.
