    VIRTUAL SWITCH NETWORKING Virtual PC XP & KUBUNTU w/AIRPORT on MAC MINI PPC OS X

    Scenario: Mac Mini PPC with Virtual PC for MAC 7.02 running
    XP and Kunbuntu Linux Virtual Machines under
    OS X….ordinarily one sets VPC to shared Networking
    And Virtual Switch to Built-in Ethernet which works fine.
    My setup has the network connection on the Host Mac
    Connected by Airport to a Linksys router.

    To experiment with networking the Virtual Machines I wanted them
    NOT to use shared networking setting so they would have distinct
    Addresses….

    On the XP machine and Linux machine set Networking Setting to
    VIRTUAL SWITCH
    Set Virtual Switch Setting to DEFAULT (since going out over
    Airport not Ethernet…it will warn you this does/may not work…
    ignore the warning)

    On the Mac, for necessary information, open,
    About this Mac/more info
    then go down to
    Network
    UNDER AIRPORT section copy (my examples follow)
    IPv4: Addresses: 192.168.1.100
    Subnet Masks: 255.255.255.0
    Server Identifier: 192.168.1.1
    UNDER LOCATIONS section (use the airport named location you are using)
    DNS: Server Addresses: 208.67.222.222, 208.67.220.220

    ON XP Virtual Machine
    START/Settings/Network Connections/
    Open,
    Local Area Connection/General/Properties
    then Double click
    Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)
    Select, Obtain an IP address automatically
    Select, Use the following DNS server Addresses:
    Put in 208.67.222.222 208.67.220.220 (from above, Locations)
    close and restart.

    The resulting XP settings are (in case you go manual)
    FROM AIRPORT( above)
    192.168.1.102 IP address (add two to 192.168.1.100)
    255.255.255.0 Subnet Mask
    192.168.1.1 default gateway
    192.168.1.1 DHCP Server
    FROM LOCATIONS (above)
    208.67.222.222 DNS Server
    208.67.220.220

    ON Kubuntu Machine
    Use Zero Configuration
    And it will wind up with an IP Address 192.168.1.103
    Or so.

    Good luck.

    AIRPORT connect on MAC OS X >Open Internet Connect and connect both Airport
    and 802.1x
