First of all my PC config:

Host:Windows 7(32-bit)

Guest: Windows XP SP3 as XP Mode.

Integration Features Disabled(I don't think it has any thing to do with networking).

Network Connections on Host :

1.Local Area Connection(Realtek...) - unplugged(as no other PC is connected).

2.Nokia 2730 classic USB Modem - I use this connect to the internet.

Now,How can I connect the guest to the host as if they were on a LAN. Please give specific steps as I am using Windows XP Mode/Virtual machine for the first time.

In the VM network setup, you need to make sure the connection is setup as a Bridge. This will allow the VM's network connection to go through the hosts connection and act as if it is on the network.

With Virtual PC (What XP Mode is running on top of) it does not use the term Bridged it actually lists the network adapter's name – Scott Chamberlain Apr 13 at 5:03
