Anyone have experience installing QRTP in Virtual PC 3.0 on a Mac? I’ve
successfully installed it with only one hiccup. It initally chose s3
Trio as my graphics card (is that what VPC emulates?), but I couldn’t
get out of 640x480, so I switched to SVGA and it worked fine, except the
whole OS runs very slowly. WinNT in the same environment runs slower
than the real thing, but it runs much quicker. Any suggestions?
Also, has anyone gotten this thing to work with Airport? I have a 5
port switch plugged into the ethernet port on the airport, and have my
PowerBook connected to the switch. This works fine with MacOS X, and
gets assigned 10.0.0.3 as an address, and 10.0.1.1 for gateway and dns.
But on QRTP, I get assigned an address of 192.168.1.251 and the dns and
gateway is 253. I’m using the DHCP.CLIENT script as described in the
helpviewer on this topic. I know that VPC plays some games with the Win
OS’s to use dhcp to get network services from the underlying MacOS.
Could this be interfering?
I can ping the airport at 253, but it won’t resolve names for me. I can
also ping the airport at 10.0.1.1, and I set QRTP for that address as
gateway with a route del default, and a route add default, and changed
the /etc/resolv.conf to use that address, but still no luck with a name
resolve. If I try to start nslookup, it mostly takes a long time to
start, and if it does start, it says that the name of the dns can’t be
found. I’ve added it to the host file, but to no avail.
Any suggestions?

I nuked the preferences file and recreated my configurations, and now QRTP
runs much quicker in VPC, although not as spritely as the Win OS’s which I
assume VPC was optimized for. I still haven’t got airport to work over its
ethernet line, with QRTP in VPC yet, though.
