FYI

I run XP in a window under VPC 5.1 on Warp CP 2. (What better place to= put Windows than in a Window <g>) The XP virtual machine gets a= real valid DCHP address just like it would if it were a standalone box= , and it is compatible with the real network address on the OS/2 host, = complete with name servers, etc. I'm assuming you have MPTS set up wit= h the Innotek Virtual Switch Protocol on the real hardwired NIC, and th= en on the Innotek Virtual Switch Mac you have the "real" prot= ocols you want - i.e. IBM TCP/IP, IBM OS/2 NETBios over TCP/IP, etc... = As I recall, VPC does not support any wireless NICs, only the hard cab= le NIC. But I think with enough playing around, one could get the har= dwired NIC to IP forward back around to the wireless NIC on the OS/2 si= de, but I haven't tried getting that to work.

Anyway, the first thing to check is that the IP address you got assigne= d on the Windows side is a compatible address/subnet. i.e. if your OS/= 2 side is 192.168.1.101 then perhaps your Windows side might be 192.168= .1.103, etc... I have never tried SVista, so I don't know if that work= s differently as Ed was suggesting below:
