Well, bad news ... the install is finished, but networking is not
working. If I do user mode networking it gets an IP address but can't
see the outside world. If I follow your instructions from the previous
e-mail it never gets an IP address at all, the network status thing
says "limited or no connectivity." Any ideas where to look?

I found the answer to this one, use the controls inside windows to
bump up the resolution.
