Not that you asked for opinions (but, then again, that's what happens in groups like the X-Apps list), but I strongly recommend that you upgrade to VPC 6.0 or 6.1. It's sooooo much better (stable, faster, etc.) than VPC 5. I used to run it with Win98, and now use it daily with W2K, mostly with Windows-only apps like Microsoft Project, SolidWorks and MindJet's mindmapping software. The networking setup is straightforward for both wired (built-in Ethernet) and wireless (built-in 802.11b). YMMV and all that. Regards, Jim (TiPBG4-800 running OS 10.3)
