So here's a question: What if I got VirtualPC and ran DirectPC on it. Would I then be able to switch into my Mac OS X partition and use the Satellite connection which was made in the PC partition? I had considered getting a fairly cheap PC laptop with an Ethernet port connected to my Airport Base. I would launch DirectPC on it and establish a broadband Internet Connection. I would then work on my TiPB using the Airport connection. But this seems way too complicated. Advice? Jg
