How to network separate Virtual PCs

Is there a way to network two different Virtual PCs from the same computer? I have a Windows 7 Pro system running Virtual PCs of XP Mode, Windows 98 SE and Windows 95, but I can't get them to see each other (or get the Windows 95 VPC to see my Windows 7 system).
(And before you say it: yes, I know that a Windows 95 VPC is "not supported" by Microsoft ... !)

Wednesday, January 09, 2013 5:30 AM So since your running 95 and 98 I assume your running Virtual PC for Windows 7. All you need to do is to browse where the VMCX files are stored (typically C:\Users\%Yourusername%\Virtual Machines) and then right click one and select Settings. From here click on Networking and where it says Adapter 1 change it to "Internal Network." This will allow the virtual machines to talk to each other but not to external networks (internet). If you want both external and internal just add a second network adapter from that same screen and make sure its Shared/NAT for the connection of the second adapter.
Be kind and Mark as Answer if I helped.
