SYMPTOMS
You cannot connect to your Internet service provider (ISP) from Virtual PC by using a Global Village Teleport V.90 modem.



CAUSE
This behavior may occur if one of the following conditions is true:
 * The modem uses some form of compression for transmission and receiving.
 * The modem is set for maximum throughput of data.



RESOLUTION
To resolve this behavior, turn off any form of modem compression that you have turned on for your Teleport modem. To do so, use the Global Village device or the Teleport Control Panel device. Additionally, reduce the throughput settings in the modem. For more information, see the product documentation.

Microsoft recommends that you use Shared Networking in Virtual PC and that you connect to your ISP from your Macintosh computer before you start Virtual PC and your virtual machine.
