I just wanted to share a quick tip on something that had been tripping me up. I’ve happily been running Windows 7 x64 for around a month now. At work, our VPN hardware doesn’t support 64-bit (different topic, don’t ask), so I wanted to use the VPN client from within Windows XP Mode. Sounds good, right?
One problem. The VPN client couldn’t see outside networks. In fact, I couldn’t even ping.
The default networking adapter seems to be “Shared Networking (NAT)” - just change it to your actual network adapter.
Success!
