I'm waiting for a call back from my isp. Of course I will tell them I'm 
trying to connect a virtual machine to the host's Internet connection. 
The first tech I got told me if the hardware's working IE should just 
simply get on the net. I said I may need DNS server name and other stuff 
I wouldn't normally need. We'll see what they say when they call back. 
It seemed like there was more to see 'under the hood' when I used dial-up.
