VIEW OF THE THREE DIAL-UP MODEMS FROM THE HOST COMPUTER

All three USB dial-up modems are physically connected to the "Windows 7" host computer.

However, in the "Phone and Modem" applet in the "Control Panel" of the host computer the two modems that are logically connected to the two virtual machines are shown as "Not present":

29

REAL USB HARDWARE CAN BE

CONNECTED TO A "VIRTUAL

MACHINE"

• Real USB dial-up modems, WiFi

adapters, external hard drives,

printers/scanners, etc. can be

connected to a virtual machine

• However, you cannot use a USB

flash device or USB external drive

to boot up a virtual machine

30

"TRENDNET" MODEM

The "Trendnet" dial-up modem is

physically and logically connected to the

"Windows 7" (real) host computer.

The "Windows 7" "Phone and Modem"

Control Panel applet refers to this

modem as an "LSI Soft Modem".

The "VMware Player" "virtual machine

program" calls this modem an "Agere

Softmodem".

31

"HAYES/ZOOM" MODEM The "Hayes/Zoom" dial-up modem is

physically connected to the "Windows

7" host computer.

The "VMware Player" "virtual machine

program" calls this modem a

"Conexant Modem".

The "Hayes/Zoom" modem is logically

connected to the "Windows 2000 Pro"

virtual machine.

32

"US ROBOTICS" MODEM

The "US Robotics" dial-up modem

is physically connected to the

"Windows 7" host computer.

However, the "US Robotics"

modem is logically connected to

the "Windows XP Home" virtual

machine.

33

"VIRTUAL MACHINE

PROGRAMS" PROVIDE

"VIRTUAL NETWORKS"

FOR YOU TO USE

36

•"Virtual machines" are

easy to clone

•"Virtual machines" are

portable between

computers

38

• When you start up a virtual

machine, it is called "playing"

the virtual machine

• However, unlike games, you

can do real work and interface

to the real world (real dial-up

modems, phone lines, other

computers on your LAN, browse

the Web) with a virtual machine
