Hi all. Got Windows 7 on Fusion 4.1 on a new MacBook Air. Connect to the internet at home with a password-protected wireless connection and at work with a somewhat more complicated situation where I have to enter proxy server settings. On the mac side, I have set up two network profiles in system preferences, which works great, but on the windows side it's more of a pain. As it is now, I have to go to control panel>internet>internet options>connection>LAN settings>then choose the proxy stuff there. Any easier way to do this? Thanks in advance.

Instead of the default Bridged Networking mode, you might try a NAT or Host-Only configuration.

Thanks, Michael. I'll look into that some more. I am currently using the Bridged setting. I chose this for a very good reason that escapes me right now. I think I had to in order to print wirelessly. Anyway, I will look into it some more. Thanks.
