Vista - DHCP Request on initial START fails

I have set up a Xp Virtual Machine on VPC on Vista Ultimate.

When I press Start, it seems to boot through to the next screen where it
tries to get a DHCP with a MAC address stated but it fails.

I have set my ADSL Ethernet Client Filter to accept the stated MAC address
but without success regardless of the network setting (Local, NAT, Intel on
MB.) It finds my 2 Actual PC's on my home network)

Any suggestions??

Have you installed the OS yet?

After you create the VM you need to install the OS, just like a real
system.

If there is no bootable media, the VM will attempt to boot from a
network source as the last option (which is what you are seeing).

OK, it sorted itself out while installing XP can see the Internet now.
