I've installed VPC 7.0.2 with WinXP on a Mac OSX G5 (10.4.8, Dual
2.3GHz, 1GB DDR2 SDRAMPPC) and am trying to activate WinXP online. I
get an error saying that online registration is not available at this
time. I've enabled Shared Networking to use NAT to share the Mac's
TCP/IP connection. When trying IE, the default startup page
www.microsoft.com/mac/ can't load, but I'm able to load simpler pages
like google and use with no problem.
Any ideas to remedy or am I stuck activating via telephone? I'm not
interested in accessing the internet through VPC/Win after I've
activated WinXP, so this isn't all that important. But I'd like to be
able to do this with as little effort as possible.
