I got the issue resolved with being able to update from a Ethernet port
(wrong setting in network properties)
Now I have an issue where I cannot use my CD drive to install applications I
wish to run in Virtual XP.
Under the settings for VPC, there was a check box for Secondary IDE
control. I unchecked it, and it switched to primary (with no success). I
can read the contents of the drive, but when I click on the setup icons, the
CD drive spins, but nothing happens (no setup screens)
any suggestions?
Thanks,
Adam
