Vista Tutorial - N(o)t-working vpc

I'm beat. It seems I have everything ready to go, but I can't get hooked up. I tried the NAT adapter, but now changed to loopback adapter. The computer sees the network, but I just can't make it go.

It would help you if you specified more in detail your setup:
- Which version of VPC (VPC2007, VPC2007SP1, Windows Virtual PC...)?
- What guest operating system did you install?
- What resources did you give to the guest?
- Which host operating system?
- How is the host networked?
- etc etc

Without that noone is really able to help you.
Networking normally just works if you do not fiddle with the defaults.

I had a previous thread about printing from vpc. I guess it ran out of interest.
I installed vpc 2007 on my vista 64x home premium
I installed windows 98se on that.
I installed autocad 2000.
I have the printer set up for shared.
I just want to be able to print from my AutoCad.
I don't know what I just did there, sorry.

etc. etc. etc...

OK, but was it VPC2007SP1 or VPC2007???Windows 98, that's pretty old and I do not remember how good it was at
networking...Does not matterWhere? and How?Works like any other Windows App, I assume...Then it is hard, because your problem seems to be the networking part
and here we need to know:
A) How is the host networked?
B) What is the network setup in the guest settings in VPC2007
C) How did you configure networking in the guest

Okay,I have the network working, but now the printer connection says I need a password. I type the password for the host computer, buit it says it's wrong. I don't remember putting any on the printer???

Wow! Sorry but this isn't my job. Sometimes I don't look at these
newsgroups for a few days.

It also helps if you don't respond to a thread that started in 2004,
it took me a long time to find your post.

Ok, good to see you got past the networking issues. You might be
hitting the Vista/non-Vista sharing issue.
Is your printer setup on a public or private network on Vista? Here's
a guide for sharing a Vista printer.

just run throught the printer part and make sure you're set up the
same way (same workgroup), network is set to private, and so on.

In Forte Agent it is easy, after retrieving the new posts they become
marked red.
Then use the "next unread" speed button and you'll get to them in
thread order.
What newsreader do you use?

Interesting you should say that. Lately it seems to switch back to public. The workgroups match.
I was wrong. The password protects networking.
This is what happens when I double click the host computer in networking from my vpc.
-The dialogue box doesn't give me an option to enter user name, only password.
-The resource looks like the host and when I type the password for that computer, I get the message that it's wrong.
I have the same password for both.
It also happens if I try to go "add a printer" from vpc--network--where-- I double-click the icon for the host and get the same "network password required" box.
You've been a great help.
