[Ti] another VPC nightmare brewing

Agreed, I already picked up 3 Gigs of space as XP Pro [a paid, 
corporate edition] was trashed earlier this morning. Next down the 
chute: VPC 6. For whatever reason, win2k will not receive packets, 
even set 'by the book': "Shared Networking" "Obtain IP" "DHCP 
Enabled', etc... so...down the 'other' hatch.

really Chris, if there was a way to increase the VRAM allotment in 
5.0.4 of VPC I'd never have bought the 6 upgrade. meanwhile, back in 
VPC 5, with all settings identical in the Drive Image [obviously], 
and the only difference in VPC being the presence ['defaulted'] of 
"Sockets Shared Networking" in the image's preferences.. i.e. VPC 
'Edit' menu, win2k works like a slow 'native', which is fine.

I remain very curious as to how others run VPC 6 direct out through a 
dsl modem, with two-way traffic [no latency].
