Installed SP3 on my workstation and now all my Virtual PC 2007 OS's cannot
get an IP. No changes were made in Virtual PC.
Anyone else seen this? Any workarounds?

Have you tried creating a new virtual machine and attaching the old vhd file
to it?
 
Also, there is a newsgroup for VPC at microsoft.public.virtualpc where you
can get more specialized help.
 
This is what I've tried so far with no luck.

1. Remove my NIC from the host and let it reinstall by rebooting.
2. Updated the driver from Dell's website (it was already up to date but
updated anyways)
3. Removed the VM Network Services from the LAN properties on the host and
reinstalled.
4. In the VM OS, I removed the NIC from Device Mgr and restarted it. The NIC
reinstalled.
 
Thanks, I will post there too.

But, have you tried creating a new virtual machine and attaching the old vhd

FYI: This apparently has become a known issue with MS. I contact them.
Unbelievable that this wasn't caught in beta testing. I can see issue with
other vendor software possibly having issue but you would think that MS
would of tested their own darn software against it. Sloppy update once
again....

I had just installed SP3 in VirtualBox but did not check for
connectivity before. I'll check it again later today when I create a
new disc.

No, it works in a virtualbox. Try installing SP3 on your XP host and then
all your virtualbox's will not have network connectivity!

Here is MS official email to me:
"After contacting senior members, seems that we need to install Virtual PC
2007 SP1 for this issue, which has not been publicly released.

I will further monitor the issue with other member to see if there's any
resolution available.

Thank you for your cooperation"

Unbelievable!!

Actually I was referring to the software VirtualBox developed by InnoTek
(now owned by Sun Microsystems). I was going to check to see if they
had the issue and if they did report it to them as a bug. But yea it
looks like there is a bug with VirtualPC then.
