How Do I Connect a Virtual PC Client to a Virtual PC Server?

When you have a PC and server that are "virtual" machines, you must still configure them as though they are actual physical hardware. This is accomplished using a downloadable Microsoft tool called Virtual Machine Remote Client Plus (VMRCplus). Using VMRCplus, you can quickly and efficiently connect your virtual PC to a virtual server to experience some real-world computing power.
