then do this

this is basically turning the virtual pc off (proper shut down) and then vpc off and restart vpc console.

of course the internet has to be working on the host machine, this method is to get the wireless connection working.

so if its all setup but the office internet gets chaned or fiddled with, try the off and on method, to reset or reget the details

when this worked, the wireless was on and working in the host machine

also maybe in the DNS imputting screen, click on advanced, and find the 'enable netbios' radio button options. try auto vs enabled and the restart method together.
