Hi

I am running Mac OS on Powerbook G4 machine with Virtual PC 7
(Windows XP).

My network connection for the Virtual PC is only 10.0 Mbps in XP .i
want to increase this to 100 Mbps same as it apears in Mac OS.

Please suggest how can i see the 100 mbps connection on Virtual PC 7
XP.

Regards

Nagendra

You can't. VPC emulates a 10BaseT ethernet connector. Buy a MacBook
Pro and run Parallels or VMware instead.

The emulation only impacts the speed that's reported to applications.
In actuality it sends and receives as fast as the host OS can, although
the emulation overhead may slow down the guest OS that it can't really
take advantage of this.
