         <H1>Accessing the
         Web, e-mail, etc.</H1>
         
            <P>Virtual PC's Shared
            Networking feature provides a very easy way for a
            <A HREF="../../shrd/pgs/hostguest.htm">guest</A> PC to browse the web,
            and to send and receive e-mail. The connection is made
            from the host PC, and shared transparently by the guest
            PC.
            
            <P>Virtual PC's
            Virtual Switching feature can also be used for these
            purposes, but it is generally not recommended. Using the
            Virtual Switch requires knowledge about network
            configuration.</P>
            
            <P>Using a dial-up
            connection from the guest PC is also generally not
            recommended. A dial-up connection initiated from the
            guest PC may not be shared with the host PC or with any
            other guest PC. In addition, setting up a dial-up
            connection is a challenging task.</P>
