connect to VPC from vista.

I'm running vista 64 bit as a host, and Windows XP as a client on vpc
2007.

Instead of using through vpc itself, can I use Remote Desktop to
connect from the Vista system to the XP virtual System?

the vista system(host) has 1 adapter used to connect to the internet.
The XP system on vpc 2007 is using NAT to connect to the internet.

I'd like to know how to connect to vpc from vista using remote desktop
or some other vpn software.

I've managed to connect between them using Remote Desktop by
installign a loopback adapter on both the computers. would there be a
way to run the vpc without having it run as a window? I could connect
using remote Desktop when needed.

That's a good way to accomplish that.

No real clean way, but you might want to take a look at Virtual Server
instead, it will do exactly what you want.
