To configure Virtual Switch, follow these steps:
Start Virtual PC.
Click the virtual machine in the Virtual PC list, and then click Settings. 
Note If you cannot see the Virtual PC list, click Virtual PC, and then click Virtual PC List.
Click Networking, and then click to select Enable Networking.
Click Virtual Switch, and then click OK.
Click Start Up. Note Because there are several versions of Microsoft Windows, the following steps may be different on your computer. If they are, see your product documentation to complete these steps.
In the Windows virtual machine, start Microsoft Internet Explorer. If the New Connection Wizard does not start, follow these steps:
On the Tools menu, click Internet Options.
On the Connections tab, click Setup.
Click Next.
Click Connect to the Internet, and then click Next.
Click Set up my connection manually, and then click Next.
Click Connect using a broadband connection that is always on, and then click Next.
Click Finish.
