Host machine: Vista ultimate
Problem software
Virtual PC 2007
PC-Cillin Internet security 2007

Ok I use Virtual PC to test out sites in some older OS, as some of you know my old 2K operating system died irretrievably so i have just installed Virtual PC 2007 on my Vista machine, everything seems to run fine except i can't access the net with my virtual machines, Unless I turn PC-Cillin off

The issue is that i have to let the virtual machines through the firewall, but i don't want to create a gaping hole, I don't even know what port i should be opening in the firewall (if any)

What i have done

I have allowed virtual PC (and its components) access to the web
Searched the net, but haven't found anything clear and concise that explains it in a way i understand

616606 2007-11-30 02:34:00 errrrrrr.......you just let virtual pc access the net thru the firewall in the same fashion as you would any other 'trusted app'.. ........that's what I do anyway. drcspy (146)
616607 2007-11-30 02:45:00 errrrrrr.......you just let virtual pc access the net thru the firewall in the same fashion as you would any other 'trusted app'.. ........that's what I do anyway.

616608 2007-12-12 07:53:00 Ok anyone know, where there is a good Virtual PC 2003 guide/forum thingie cause I am stumped,

616609 2007-12-12 08:08:00 as an experiment turn off the pc cillin firewall and run the vista one.....then see if your VM will access the net ? drcspy (146)
616610 2007-12-12 08:28:00 yep it works fine with the MS firewall, (I'm in my virtual machine now), I just can't figure out why PC-Cillin isn't working nicely with it

oh well at least I know if worst comes to worst i can flick the windows firewall on if I need to use my virtual machines

616611 2007-12-12 18:48:00 dont know much about the firewall you are using or VPC 07 ( I use vmserver). But are you able to put in the ip as trusted that the virtual machine is using or even give the trusted status to the virtual nic within the firewall config. beama (111)
