I'm doing the opposite (Linux host, XP guest) and my virtual machine doesn't even have a modem. If this is what you are doing, then the way to connect to the Internet is to use Windows to establish the modem connection and use VMware NAT networking to provide access to the VM. -- Matthew Saltzman Clemson University Math Sciences mjs AT clemson DOT edu http://www.math.clemson.edu/~mjs
