I just got a powerbook and wanted to know if I can log onto Party Poker through VPC at my local Starbucks. Will IE in VPC recognize the Airport Card? Figured it was a nice way to pass some time with a cup 'o joe.

As long as the MacOS is successfully connecting via wifi, VPC will see the connection with no additional effort.

Yeah, VPC cleverly "shares" your Mac's network connection rather than trying to talk to your hardware directly.

Under Virtual PC List you will need to click on "settings" and then click "networking". Make sure "enable networking" is checked and "shared networking" is selected.
