My Host Operating System (The one that runs on my laptop is Windows Vista). The configuration is as follows -

Intel Core 2 Duo CPU, 1.66GHz Memory RAM 2.00 GB System Type - 32 bit

I run Windows 2003 on my Virtual PC 2007. I am not able to access Internet from the Windows 2003 OS, whereas I am able to do so with my laptop directly.

The internet connection is a wireless connection. The same Virtual machine (VHD/VMC) when copied to my desktop which runs on Windows XP is able to connect to Internet.

Can you please help?

You need to have VPC set to use the adapter on the host that has the Virtual Machine Network Service installed.

I imagine guest internet works on your PC as it is wired internet, but not on your laptop as it is wireless.

See this guide, especially step 6:

I use roughly the same setup but with XP as my host enviroment. You must shut down your virtual machine, not save it, and then you can choose a network adapter to use with your virtual machine. – Chris Dec 31 '09 at 14:21
