Behind 2 routers

1. Make sure your real network card is selected in the VPC network settings
2. start ubuntu
3. System>Pref>Network Proxy > adv config
4. Delete all the items on the list (local host, 127.0…..)
5. System > admin > Network
6. Change the wired connection to DHCP and then make sure you check Enabled. Should work for you now :)

Thank you for your great tutorial. I am able to install Ubunu 6.06 on Microsoft VPC 2007. I had tried many times before looking at your tutorial…but could do successfully. Now I could do it by following your simple steps.
Thanks a lot again.

(any VPC version will not take kindly to 24 (or apparently 32 bit) colors). Hope this helps!

Peace and Love,

Mitchell

Type i8042.noloop at the end of the line.
Press enter to accept the changes and then press enter again to boot.
This will enable your mouse. I found this tip here:

Thanks,
Greg

Your XP drive will be unaffected.

So everything working fine I’m just a little confused at step 5.

“Getting close, now in step 5 we’re asked about the disk space. Your two options are to install to the entire partition, or manually edit. Since this is a virtual machine, we’ll just take the default of “Erase entire disk:IDE1 master (hda) 17.2 GB Virtual HD” and click Forward.”

I have windows XP SP2 installed on my vaio laptop with only one physical partition for windows. At this step , will formating this virtual drive affect my physical drive, in other words will it erase my hard drive just to install Ubuntu. After typing this out it doesn’t sound like it however just want to make sure before ending up with much larger problem. Thanks

Worked like a charm. With Virtual PC 2007, you don’t even have to use the Virtual CD App. Simply use Capture ISO in the CD menu item of your virtual machine and run the Ubuntu setup from there. (Of course, you must down load the ISO-file first.)

I am trying to install Kubuntu 7.10 on my Gateway notebook running Virtual PC 2007. I already know about the mouse issue, but once I’m at the installation window, I cant click Enter either. (It wont do anything) I can however scroll up and down and select “Start Kubuntu in Safe Graphic Mode”, but Enter wont do nothing.

Any ideas?
