Hi, if my laptop is WinXP OS, and my Virtual OS is Server 2008, does this same settings need to be applied in order to make the virtual OS connected to Internet? I cant find Loopback Adaptor in Windows XP. Please advise..

MeiMei,
Sorry for a delayed response. It should work the same for all OS's. I've found that there are a number of ways to connect. The one that gives the least hassles seems to be using NAT to connect the VM to the internet. This way you do not need to setup the Loopback Adapter. When I have issues that I cannot resolve I contact one of the network admins. The most common error for me is when I move to a different internet connection (i.e. I logon from home as opposed to using work's network) then the VM caches the previous network's settings.
