    I wouldn't recommend installing through a network connection.

    For a Virtual Machine:

    If you have the Win 7 media (DVD), use an app like PowerISO or MagicISO to make an ISO file of the install disc and use that.

     

    For BootCamp:

    Use the original install media and BootCamp Assistant, to install from your DVD Drive.
