Hi,

Upon upgrading my host system to sp2, the guest system can no longer use the
network. I see the Windows Firewall dropping "Windows Messenger" related
packets from the guest machine to the host machine.

How is one supposed to get VirtualPC 2004 running under a sp2 host?

Thanks,
Gili

I've got it running on two host machines running Windows XP SP2 - it has
worked fine from Beta1 of SP2 right on up through RTM. The only thing that
seems to need work is when you run SP2 in the GUEST. There, it seems the VPC
Additions are detuned or something - the guest becomes much slower. However,
having SP2 on the host has not been a problem.

So something else is going wrong. I've got my network adapter 1 (in VPC
settings) configured to "Intel(R) PRO/1000 CT Network Connection -
Deterministic Network Enhancer Miniport" yet when I try connecting to
internet on the guest's end it fails. I see dropped packets in the firewall
log on the host. Any ideas?

Also, I've noticed that copying files from the guest's point of view,
from a shared folder onto a local folder, is extremely slow and consumes
100% cpu. Is this normal?

I've got the exact same problem. See my post "No network/internet
connections anymore" yesterday. I hope they fix this soon.

Does it work if you turn off the firewall on the host machine?

No, it does not seem to help. Although, I should put out that other
applications such as Intel VTune have gotten broken by sp2 (acknowledged by
Intel personel) and disabling the firewall doesn't help for them either. I
still suspect sp2 is at fault for breaking VPC 2004. Has anyone at Microsoft
actually bothered testing this?
