Vista - Multiple Guest OS

In our home, we have a couple of computers that are on a local
intranet. What I'm looking to do is setup one pc as a host and
install 3 guest OS using virtual pc.

Is there any way to allow family members to simulataneoulsy remote in
to the host and access their own guest OS without interferring with
the others that might be connected to the host? I believe remote
desktop only allows one connection, just wondering if there is another
option?

You sound like you're looking for some sort of terminal services / dumb
terminal solution - this really isn't what VPC is...
What type of machines do you envisage your family members using to achieve
this...?

about remoting into the host, that would be the best way to do it. (if
the guests have Remote desktop capability)
You're correct, Remote desktop is limited to 1 login and cannot be
shared. If your host is a server OS and you have purchased Terminal
Server Clients, you can do what you want.

try....thank you

I guess through that on the host machine, all the guest workstations
will need to be on and ready to accept incoming connections. In other
words, the host will always have the 3 guest machines running.

Is the any way to remotely "turn the guests on" only when they are
required or is that now moving more towards terminal services.

>I guess through that on the host machine, all the guest workstationsSo why not leave them running all the time except for backups?
There is, but it's more complicated. (and there would be wait time for
the users.)

the wait time is to long, but would you mind sharing a link to the
method you referenced above so that I can review.

It all depends on the setup of your host as to how you would do it.

I'm not sure what details I can provide to you for the correct
documentation, but all workstations run XP Pro SP3 and on the host,
virtual pc is installed. All workstations belong to workgroup.
