I am having trouble getting Msnet to work with a guest computer in Microsoft Virtual PC.
I turned off all firewalls and was unable to connect.
Has anyone ever attempted this ?
Is there an add in with Virtual PC that needs to be installed ?

What kind of networking is set up for the VPC - is it sharing the same IP as the host? That could be an issue.

I was able to change the ip of the guest computers so that the all but the last octet matched.
Then I was the able to run the macro using msnet.
But the firewall is a huge problem.
With no firewall on a host computer or it's guest computers (virtual) I can run a macro from different physical computer on either the host or it's guest computer.
With a firewall on the host only, I can allow mshed.exe in the firewall and the macro runs on the host from another physical computer.
But I cannot for some reason run the macro on the guest even though I have no firewall on the guest.
So the firewall allows msched.exe and the macro runs on the host from another computer, but when you try to run a macro on a guest computer (virtual computer) which has no firewall it doesn't go through.
