Since your Windows virtual machine connected with the router and optained its IP
address, wouldn't you think this is a Windows problem and not an OS/2 or VPC problem?
DHCP uses TCP/IP so it would seem that your networking is working and now you
have a Windows configuration issue. My guess is that a Windows forum/list is now
a better place to look for a solution.
FYI, try pinging your router and /or also use that IP address in your virtual machines web
browser to see if you can get the managment display. If both those work, you've got
a DNS problem with Windows.

"The idea that Bill Gates has appeared like a knight in shining armor to
lead all customers out of a mire of technological chaos neatly ignores
the fact that it was he, who by peddling second-rate technology, led them
into it in the first place."
