XP Mode Virtual PC Connecting to Domain
Hi Experts... I just go help from you installing xp mode on a win 7 pro 32 bit pc. I am installing applications and need to connect to a printer over the network. I am trying to connect to our domain to find a printer but the virtual machine does not allow me to do so. Can I connect to the domain or is there a different way to go about this? Thanks...

I think I need to do something different than the default logon for the Virtual PC. Doesn't it need to logon with a domain user account? I cannot connect or ping anyting on the network. When I browse the network it asks for credintials to connect.

just added domain user and logging back on
