Works great so far, but I can't setup the network. My host is a XP/sp3 running and the VM is XP. I'm temporarily without a router, so my ethernet card is plugged into my DSL modem directly. I set it to bridged and used vmnetcfg.exe (which, unhelpfully, needs to extracted manually from the setup files) to verify that it was automatically connecting to the right LAN card.

Still, nothing works. ipconfig in the virtualization shows nothing connected, nothing can be pinged, etc.

What am I missing? The help files aren't clear on how I need to Windows up in both the host and the VM. Things will be more straight-forward when I'm settled in and have a proper router, but until then, any suggestions? Would there be benefit in trying NAT?
