Connecting to Workgroup through Virtual PC

Post by cosmicmandala »

I just successfully installed Windows XP Pro on my Macbook Pro running Mac Os X Snow Leopard. On my Mac I am connected to a network domain, to a workgroup. I need to somehow access this same network through my virtual machine.

I am able to get online, but I cannot see the other computers that I connect to through my Mac. Is there a way to set it up that I can connect to those same computers? Maybe by connecting to my Mac through my virtual machine?

Ideas?

You must be using Bridged mode in the guest settings to be able to see the other computers.
